7. May 2008 CMS Physics Analysis Project/HIP 7 Plans and future challenges 1 year goal (until the start of data taking mid 2007): active tuning of the experiment software + documentation active involvement in optimizing the alignment strategies active involvement in designing the analysis strategies collaboration with the HIP tracker project (test beam) long term (data taking and running the experiment): need all (and even more) manpower to: maintain + improve software with real data gradually improve the software alignment control the quality of data do competitive physics analysis strong response to the computing challenge In short: computing, calibrations, physics analysis
