CERN Summer Student Session 2007 Outline The CMS High Level Trigger My physics channel My work on CMS software with MC data First results: efficiency measurements Summary Serena Oggero CERN Summer Student Session 2007
CERN Summer Student Session 2007 The CMS HLT CMS detector (40 MHz) What? CMS online event selection code L1 Trigger (100 kHz) Why? most of events produced at LHC are not interesting the interaction rate is larger than what can be recorded Custom-made Hardware HL Trigger (100 Hz) Pc farm CMS Software How? takes events already accepted by the first level trigger (L1) decides whether the event should be kept, based on sequences of more elaborated algorithms ...so any offline analysis depends on the HLT efficiency… Serena Oggero CERN Summer Student Session 2007
CERN Summer Student Session 2007 My physics channel 140 < MH < 700 GeV One of the most promising channel H Z Z* l+l- l+l- and I focused on H Z Z* e+e- e+e- How it is seen by the CMS detector: Serena Oggero CERN Summer Student Session 2007
CERN Summer Student Session 2007 My work (I) Event sources (Montecarlo) Set of complete events of: H Z Z* l+l- l+l- Higgs mass 170 GeV H Z Z* e+e- e+e- Higgs mass 190 GeV Filter Module selection of at least 2 e- and 2 e+ per event acceptance cuts: pt > 5 GeV and |η| < 2.7 to preserve electron reconstruction efficiency Serena Oggero CERN Summer Student Session 2007
CERN Summer Student Session 2007 My work (II) Analyzer module - Offline electron reconstruction in several steps: starting from the SuperCluster using information from pixel detector, tracker, HCAL - Run HLT Egamma paths: each path iterates over a collection of reconstructed physics objects and applies cuts Root Ntuple Serena Oggero CERN Summer Student Session 2007

Many thanks to Roberta Arcidiacono and Nadia Pastrone! Summary & Outlook Written modules for HLT studies on H4e channel efficiency measured on two different MC samples results look promising… …still to do: improve Ntuple structure for a more detailed study study signal and background rates work with higher statistics and other Higgs mass points Many thanks to Roberta Arcidiacono and Nadia Pastrone!
