The charm physics programme at the LHCb upgrade, and Atlas and CMS upgrades
Charm physics has been established at the LHC based on several high-precision
measurements. The future of charm physics at the LHC experiments is discussed
in detail. The bulk of the charm physics programme will be performed by LHCb
and the LHCb upgrade. In particular, the impact of the LHCb upgrade on mixing
and \CP violation measurements is presented.Comment: to appear in the proceedings of The 5th International Workshop on

Physics opportunities with future proton accelerators at CERN
We analyze the physics opportunities that would be made possible by upgrades
of CERN's proton accelerator complex. These include the new physics possible
with luminosity or energy upgrades of the LHC, options for a possible future
neutrino complex at CERN, and opportunities in other physics including rare
kaon decays, other fixed-target experiments, nuclear physics and antiproton
physics, among other possibilities. We stress the importance of inputs from
initial LHC running and planned neutrino experiments, and summarize the
principal detector R&D issues.Comment: 39 page, word document, full resolution version available from

Status Report of the DPHEP Study Group: Towards a Global Effort for Sustainable Data Preservation in High Energy Physics
Data from high-energy physics (HEP) experiments are collected with
significant financial and human effort and are mostly unique. An
inter-experimental study group on HEP data preservation and long-term analysis
was convened as a panel of the International Committee for Future Accelerators
(ICFA). The group was formed by large collider-based experiments and
investigated the technical and organisational aspects of HEP data preservation.
An intermediate report was released in November 2009 addressing the general
issues of data preservation in HEP. This paper includes and extends the
intermediate report. It provides an analysis of the research case for data
preservation and a detailed description of the various projects at experiment,
laboratory and international levels. In addition, the paper provides a concrete
proposal for an international organisation in charge of the data management and
policies in high-energy physics
CMS Software Distribution on the LCG and OSG Grids
The efficient exploitation of worldwide distributed storage and computing
resources available in the grids require a robust, transparent and fast
deployment of experiment specific software. The approach followed by the CMS
experiment at CERN in order to enable Monte-Carlo simulations, data analysis
and software development in an international collaboration is presented. The
current status and future improvement plans are described.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure, latex with hyperref
Overview of ALICE results in pp, pA and AA collisions
The ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is optimized
for recording events in the very large particle multiplicity environment of
heavy-ion collisions at LHC energies. The ALICE collaboration has taken data in
Pb-Pb collisions in Run I and Run II at nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energies
= 2.76 and \mbox{5.02 TeV}, respectively, and in pp
collisions at center-of-mass energies = 0.9, 2.76, 5.02, 7, 8 and 13
TeV. The asymmetric system p-Pb was measured at a center-of-mass energy
= 5.02 TeV. Selected physics results from the analysis
of these data are presented, and an outline of the ALICE prospects for Run III
is given.Comment: 12 pages, 10 figures, Invited Talk at XXIII International Baldin
