ITEP history
Institute for Theoretical and Experimental
Physics was founded on December 1, 1945.
the heavy-water reactor was run in 1949 in
1961 the 7-GeV proton synchrotron started
operating. It was the first Russian proton
accelerator using the strong focusing
principle. (small prototype of the biggest
Russian 76-GeV machine built later in Protvino).
Now ITEP is Russian scientific centers aimed at
studying nuclear physics and physics of
elementary particles. Institute occupies the
area of the old eighteenth century estate
"Cheremushki".

ITEP research program

• Theoretical study of the properties and
  interactions of elementary particles and atomic
  nuclei and astrophysical aspects
• Study of hadron-hadron and hadron-nuclear
  interactions and resonance systems
• Investigation of fundamental interactions using
  colliding beams and high-energy accelerators
• Study of electroweak interaction at accelerators
  and low-background facilities
• Investigation of low-energy interactions
• Solid-state physics, physical chemistry and
  superconductivity
• Nuclear fusion at powerful heavy-ion and
  electromagnetic drivers
• Development of new proton therapy methods and
  construction of a positron-electron tomograph for
  medical diagnostics
• Development of new methods of proton and
  heavy-ion acceleration
• Development of a new generation of safe
  nuclear-power facilities

International collaboration

• DESY (Hamburg) - ARGUS, H1, HERA-B
• CERN (Geneva) - AMS, CHORUS, L3
• ATLAS, ALICE, CMS, LHCb
• FNAL (Batavia) - D0, E781(SELEX)
• GSI (Darmstadt) - CBM

And many others

ITEP in EGEE

• ITEP participation in EGEE project has started in
  2004

• NA2
• NA3
• NA4
• SA1

ITEP is responsible for the support of LHCb

DC04 Summary
Quite visible participation in ALICE and LHCb
DCs ALICE ? 5 contribution (ITEP part
70) LHCb ? 5 contribution (ITEP part
70) With only 64 CPUs Observed problems
reported to colleagues in collaborations More
attention to LCG now Distributed analysis very
different pattern of work load
connectivity with CERN and TIER1 centers is an
issue !

Advertising GRID ideas

• Russian VO PHOTON for SELEX colleagues was
  organized in 2005 (Dolgolenko)
• Regional centre for AMS (VO in preparation)
• Collaboration with CBM project (GSI, Darmstadt)
• ITEP theory department is very interested

ITEP physicists are starting to use LCG resources
for their every day work. LHCb group has
performed simulations of light collection
efficiency in LCG (20K jobs finished in 2 days)

Plans for the nearest future
Further support of LHC experiments Data Challenges
becomes a trivial task running automatically
Increase significantly the power of ITEP farm in
2006
special computing facility is organized in
ITEP current installation occupies only 5
Concentrate on distributed analysis (test GANGA)
connectivity with CERN and TIER1 centers is an
issue !
