1. EtMiss and Tau updates Meeting di gruppo ATLAS
D. Cavalli, C. Pizio, S. Resconi

2. NEW Jet/MET organization
2 NEW task forces have been created inside the Jet/MET group, since October 08:
(1) Data Preparation for Missing Et and Jet Measurements (S.R., R. Teuscher )
(2) Jet Reconstruction and Calibration (E. Fullana, A. Schwartzman)
• The scope of task force (1) is focused on data preparation for Missing Et and jet measurements in early data
 main items related to noise studies, study of cleaning variables to reject cosmics and beam gas events, strategies to deal with detector faults, like missing modules, bad channels…
 study in details single beam/cosmics data
 develop common tools (package) inside Athena for cleaning cuts/variables
 use/study DPDs (Derived Physics Data) format from single beam/cosmics
 close connection with calo experts (LAr and Tile)
• more details in the wiki and in meetings:

3. MissingET processing on real data
 work in the context of the Task Force
In first prompt processing of single beam data (Sept 08) highest level of descoping:
 MissingET was one of the few combined algo that was ready to run (no egamma, no tau…)
 Only METAlg with a minimal set of MET Tools to calculate:
MET_Base = EtMiss from all CaloCells (Ecell2 noise)
 etx(), ety(), sumet(),
 exCalo(CaloReg), eyCalo(CaloReg), etSumCalo(CaloReg),ncellCalo(CaloReg)
CaloReg = PEMB, EMB, PEMEC, EME, TILE, HEC, FCAL
 exReg(EtaReg), etReg(EtaReg), etSumReg(EtaReg)
EtaReg = Central (||1.5), EndCap (1.5||  3.2), Forward (3.2||5)
 Since rel added quantity for basic performance/noise studies with first data:
MET_Base0 = EtMiss from all CaloCells WITHOUT any noise cuts
 Available in “data08_cosmag*recon*f75*”
 In second reprocessing (Xmas 08) no more need to descope MET:
 All combined reco algo (egamma, tau, jets…) have run, all needed input objects to MET were available
 Full MissingET reconstruction successful

4. MissingET on reprocessed data
 work in the context of the Task Force
• First look to MET quantities on reprocessed single beam data:
data08_1beammag physics_L1Calo.merge.AOD.o4_r605_p17_tid (~ evts)
data08_1beammag physics_L1Calo.merge.DPD_CALOCOMM.o4_r605_p17_tid (~ 7000 evts)
SUMET distributions
AOD
DPD
Used same ARA code to analyse AOD and DPD data
Good agreement between AOD and DPD distributions of main MET quantities

5. MissingET on reprocessed data
 work in the context of the Task Force
SUMET Ref terms
AOD
DPD
Checking all contributions to MET from all reco objects (ele/gamma/tau/jets…):
• MET_RefEle and MET_RefTau terms are zero both in AOD and DPD
due to problems with the tracking
 MissingET is a powerfull tool also for debugging all reco objects

6. Masking bad channels in MET Reconstruction
 work in the context of the Task Force
• To mask bad channels both in LAr and Tile calos different bad channel tools are available:
LArBadChanTool/Masker, TileBadChanTool
CaloBadChanTool combines LAr+Tile but less detailed info
• To allow the possibility to use them in MissingET package a new MET tool has been
implemented  METCellMaskTool
• at the moment it allows two possibilities that can be configured in METGetter.py:
• (1) use CaloBadChanTool for all cells (LAr + Tile) setting:
WhichBadChanTool = “OnlyCalo“
SelectBadChan = “Dead”, “Noisy”, “Affected“, “All” ,“Dead+Noisy”, “Noisy+Affected”
• (2) use LArBadChannelMasker for LAr cells + CaloBadChannelTool for Tile cells setting:
WhichBadChanTool = “Calo+LAr“
SelectBadChan = “Dead”, “Noisy”, “Affected“, “All”
theLArMasker.ProblemsToMask=["deadReadout","deadPhys","almostDead","short", "lowNoiseHG", "highNoiseHG","unstableNoiseHG","lowNoiseMG","highNoiseMG","unstableNoiseMG","lowNoiseLG", "highNoiseLG","unstableNoiseLG","deadCalib","distorted","peculiarCalibrationLine", "sporadicBurstNoise","problematicForUnknownReason","shortProblem","missingFEB"]
 in contact with LAr and Tile experts to understand which level of masking should be applied
for Tile cells 
for LAr cells 

7. EM fraction of SUMET_Base
 work in the context of the Task Force
EM fraction of SumET = SumET in EM calos / SumET_Base
SUMET_BASE_EM =(SumET_EMB+ SumET_PEMB+SumET_EMEC+ SumET_PEMEC) / SumET_Base
 those info are already available in ESD / AOD / CBNT
cosmics J4
Ztautau
Ztautau J4
cosmics
cosmics:
data08_cosmag physics_L1Calo
Ztautau sample:
trig1_misal1_csc A3_Ztautau_filter
J4 sample:
trig1_misal1_csc J4_pythia_jetjet
Cosmics or beam halo muons leave most of their energy in Tile cal, so this will lead to very low EM fraction.
SUMET_BASE_EM is a good candidate for Cleaning cuts
 Under study in cosmics analysis

8. Other MET deliverables for rel 15.0.0
• MET reconstruction from Calo / TopoTowers (in view of first data):
 a new tool that loops on Towers and calculate MET to be implemented
• Towards the best MET Refined Calibration: for each reconstructed object apply the best calibration weights to its constituent CaloCells
test CalibHits based e/gamma calib in progress to improve electron contribution to MET (METRefEleTool)
tests by Caterina in contact with Leonardo
• Merging with ObjMissingET (by Wisconsin group):
Calibration of cells outside reconstructed objects provided by ObjMET now integrated in MissingET package
 plan to close ObjMissingET package in rel
• MET reconstruction on AOD:
On AOD NOT possible to re-calculate EtMiss at Cell level. New method to remove overlap among reco objects developped in collaboration with Peter Loch
Peter will come to Milan next week to finalize the implementation
