14. Kati Lassila-Perini/HIP HIP CMS Software and Physics project evaluation14/2222.5.2006 Error estimate for photon E measurement The precision of the photon energy measurement is crucial for an early discovery of the H signal. Photon energy measurement may be degraded due to several factors: –shower shape (due to the conversions in the tracker material) –shower position with respect to the crystal boundaries and module boundaries –shower position in  (due to different geometrical shape of the crystal array) –shower energy (a feature of the calorimeter). These uncertainties have been estimated from simulated data and parameterized as functions of r 9 = E 9 /E sc, r 1 = E 1 /E 9, , ln(E 1 /E 2 ) at module borders and E. The total uncertainty is taken as a maximum of different estimates: –take  = max( r9, r1, mod.borders, E ) Each photon is given an uncertainty estimate which can be used in the event selection.

18. Kati Lassila-Perini/HIP HIP CMS Software and Physics project evaluation18/2222.5.2006 Activities in e/ group: Conclusions We have contributed to many areas in the photon and electron reconstruction. Many of the items we have been active in do not produce publications –this is a known risk career-wise (and for evaluations…) –we feel that our choice has been correct and our engagement to not so grateful tasks has been highly valued in the collaboration. The physical ideas have been turned to software, now in CMS we are transferring this knowledge to a new software system (ORCA  CMSSW). We have decided to reduce our activities in the area of reconstruction software development –as a small institute and as physicists (and not sw engineers) we think that rewriting the same code is not where we can best contribute. But: we will continue test beam analysis and connected studies in other areas such as online selection at the LHC start-up.

19. Kati Lassila-Perini/HIP HIP CMS Software and Physics project evaluation19/2222.5.2006 Online selection Motivation: –data-taking is approaching: quick involvement with the early LHC data. Goals: –get a thorough understanding of the triggering process and its impact on the physics analysis. Projects: –cross-trigger studies –e/ connected items: rate studies for start-up run minimum bias signal from ECAL.

21. Kati Lassila-Perini/HIP HIP CMS Software and Physics project evaluation21/2222.5.2006 User support CMS has opened Computing positions inviting contributions from participating countries. We have decided to contribute ½FTE to the post of CMS User Support Coordinator starting from May, the 1 st, 2006. –to supervise the documentation for computing and software processes –to setup a unified user support gateway –to continue analysis in order to be well familiar with the tools. Our proposal has been accepted by the CMS management –the experience with the CMS software and analysis and the background as a physicist and user were especially appreciated. Motivation: –possibility of a visible and useful contribution –user support knowledge in an institute is valuable. Goals: –to understand the needs of the user support for a collaboration like CMS –to build a user-friendly and up-to-date documentation system –to monitor the evolution of the user support needs in time.

22. Kati Lassila-Perini/HIP HIP CMS Software and Physics project evaluation22/2222.5.2006 Conclusions and plans We have had a fruitful and long-term involvement in the e/ working group. With the data-taking approaching, we are modifying our priorities –reduced activities in the electron and photon reconstruction software development –continuing involvement in the ECAL test beam analysis –new activities in the online selection. New engagement as a CMS User Support Coordinator. We are looking forward to the start of the data-taking!
