Topic A In case anyone is interested in ALCT 3.3v Readings from Point 5 (R. Clare). Note log scale: Zoomed

Topic B: neutron rate note Suggested title: A study of out-of-time LHC backgrounds in CSC chambers Authors: Chad, Greg, Jay; what about Yunfeng, Misha, Loveless; others? Suggested abstract: Special runs were taken at various luminosities in 2010 to allow triggering on single layers in CSC chambers. With this data the time distributions of CSC signals relative to the collision bunch crossings was measured. The number of layers with hits within the chambers gives additional information as to the source of the signals, e.g. neutrons or muons.

What kind of note? Publication information at https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/CMS/Internal/PubPreparation Choice: PHYSICS result or TECHNICAL result Technical note types: Detector Notes Internal Notes CMS Notes Conference reports CMS Notes general info: They are submitted through the iCMS interface (*) with document type “CMS Note” to the chair of the sub-editorial board of the appropriate sub-detector or project. Once approved, they get a Note Number and become publicly available through iCMS and CDS. If the note concerns more than one sub-project or if it is meant to be published on a journal, the Publication Committee chairperson should be informed, through the email address <cms-publication-committee-chair@cern.ch>, so that more specific instructions can be provided.

CSC, DT and RPC notes since 2007 (Info. from Loveless as of May 2010) CSC: 2 CMS Notes, 1 Conf. Reports DT: 7 CMS Notes, 5 Conf. Reports, 2 TS (theses?) RPC: 5 CMS Notes, 2 Conf. Reports General CMS repository for all info. DocDB See https://cms-docdb.cern.ch/cgi-bin/DocDB/ListTopics

Neutron CMS note Base on info in Twiki: Suggestions: See https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/CMS/CSCNeutron2011 Needs updating with Chad’s later results Suggestions: Prefer vector graphics (eps, pdf) to non-vector (jpg, png) Use DocDB to track the document? Use MUO-11-001 (muon DPG performance paper) as template? Unclear exactly how to get setup properly ! Undefined control sequence. l.4 \cmsNoteHeader {MUO-11-001}
