Venerdi 23 Febbraio: Higgs group meeting News on MC requests and HLT A. Nikitenko Cancellato l’Higgs group meeting previsto per la CMSweek CP-violating MSSM Higgs sector at LHC Prospects for heavy H+ analysis at 1 fb-1 in MSSM Prospects for light H+ analysis at 1 fb-1 in MSSM Higgs CP measurement via h->zz->4mu decay with cmssw120 Stefan Hesselbach Ritva Kinnunen Majid Hashemi Alex Tumanov

● Starting roughly next week we will begin production of MC samples for use with the physics studies this spring and in preparation for CSA07. ● The plan: – Use CMSSW_1_2_3 for GEN SIM DIGI – Run CMSSW_1_3_x over those samples do produce RECO ● The list of samples to produce is being organized through the analysis groups, Filip Moortgat is assembling the full list for the production.

Venerdi 02 Marzo: Physics Plenary Online Selection: status and plan Christos Leonidopoulos L1 Muon triggers (DT, CSC, RPC): ported since early Fall L1 Calorimeter triggers (E/H TPG, RCT, GCT): 1st version on Xmas Still some remnant bug which causes lower efficiency Being worked on - hope for a fix in 1_3_0 All “basic” HLT algorithms available Trigger tables for L=2*10^33 from PTDR

Trigger paths: what happens next 1_3_0 (next week):  Only bugfixes allowed till release closes  New trigger paths (config files) with old algorithms: ok  Working on providing PTDRv2 trigger menu “out of the box” 1_3_1 “OnSel only release” (on or around March 9 th ):  New unpacking code (SiStrip, DT, DTTF)  “Final” versions for rest of unpacking code (except for ECAL)  Missing HLT algorithms, bugfixes in L1 emulator 1_3_2 “OnSel only release (end of March):  Speed improvements in the ECAL unpacking  Bugfixes in L1 emulator, HLT algorithms  First version of startup trigger menu?

Software and Detector Performance Validation Daniel Elvira Standalone muon efficiency: Mu-CMSSW_1_2_0 Improvement in the forward region. “Features” being investigated right now: inefficiency in wheel gaps, dip at the end of the barrel coverage, charge asymmetry, efficiency loss for TeV muons Accurate helium Chimney simulation

Vertex constraint absent in 120 (present in PTDR and in 130): Unfair comparison Overall behavior OK. Spikes at wheel gaps being investigated
