9 - Physics Analysis Tools Group: co-lead by P. Maksimovic and charged with providing/maintaining all software used in physics analyses! Responsible for: high level objects (electrons, b-jets, candidates), composite candidates, event hypothesis, collections, filters, generic histogramming/ntupling, trigger confirmation, efficiency determination, MC matching, fitting data distributions, visualization (event displays like Iguana)! Organization: actual development is done by the Physics Toolkit Taskforce (also co-lead by PM, SR is a contributor):! Official set of " algorithms (for cleaning and selection) " high-level objects (PAT objects)! Crucial: defines the scope of early physics! " skimming will be done centrally " most users will use PAT objects directly! Starter Kit: a set of always-functioning examples of simple analyses that new (and old) users can use to get started 9

10 Tracker Alignment (Strips + Pixels): A. Gritsan, C.-K. Lae, N. Tran - Tracker Alignment Group now co-lead by A. Gritsan - Build framework to include hierarchical survey information from a database in the alignment procedure Tracks Combine Survey χ (R,Ω)= N hits i=1 ε T i V 1 i ε i + 1 N str. j=1 ε T j,surveyv 1 j,survey ε j,survey

11 - Forward Pixel Survey (NT): used CMM, photogrammetry, touch probes! Survey goals! sensor positions/orientations! hierarchical errors Typical errors: ( R, Ω) halfcylinder (σ > 5µm) ( R, Ω) halfdisk (σ > 1µm) ( R, Ω) blade (σ 1µm) ( R, Ω) panel (σ 1µm) ( R, Ω) sensor (σ few µm) 11

Lae) - build database and graphical interface for the configuration of the DCS including configuration of the Finite State Machines - design of the graphical panels for reading the temperatures, humidities, currents and voltages to monitor the state of the detector - provide DCS support to the commissioning of the Forward Pixel Detector at the Tracker Integration Facility. 14

15 CMS Computing (B. Blumenfeld) - Frontier Database Access: efficient delivery of all non-event data to all T, T1, T, T CMS jobs and the HLT farm! essential part of all CMS computing! developed by JHU-FNAL Collaboration! deployed at 5 sites in 18 countries! worked flawlessly during CSA7! BB developed special configuration for High Level Trigger Requests served by local cache Requests served by remote source 15

16 ! implemented, maintained, supported by only people! Blumenfeld is the only physicist involved - Created/operates Monitor Alert for Frontier and expanded to CMS Global Data Bookkeeping System 16 15

18 Outreach (Barnett) - Quarknet: 6th annual summer workshop for Baltimore area teachers - Physics Fair: 4th fair held in April 7 - EPPOG MasterClasses: teachers and 6 students in 7, teachers and 1 students in 8 18

19 Future Activities Offline Software - Pixel Template Simulation (MS, GG): need to be able to quickly simulate radiation damaged pixel detector in CMSSW! detailed simulation: s/cluster; CMSSW simulation (no damage): 1 ms/cluster! use templates to re-weight CMSSW simulated clusters (solve 1-D projections to -D weights):. ms/cluster (a) (b)! basic re-weighting procedure is written+tested, implementation in CMSSW needs infrastructural work to handle edge clusters 19 18

20 - Pixel Template Reconstruction Calibration Suite (MS, DF, PM,?): we know how to scale our detector model with n-equiv fluence: N A (Φ)=R A (Φ)N A (Φ ), N D (Φ)=R D (Φ)N D (Φ ), Γ e/h (Φ)=R Γ (Φ)Γ e/h (Φ )! Need to vary ~1 parameter to tune model! Repeat beam test charge collection profile measurements in-situ in CMS! many inclined tracks even near barrel center! must live with zero-suppressed readout! need fine voltage scan to compensate! Useful in commissioning the pixel system ! eq ="1 n/cm (d) V bias =5 V Data PIXELAV Best Fit V bias =5 V (e) V bias =1 V (f) V bias =15 V (g) Charge (A.U.) 1 invisible 5 1 Position (!m) 5 1 Position (!m) 5 1 Position (!m) 5 1 Position (!m)

21 -Pixel Template Cluster Splitter (MS, GG, PM,SR): use template reconstruction to develop an algorithm to split merged clusters in high-pt jets (interest driven by search for t-tbar resonances)! Step 1: first pass tracking with loose cuts on %! Step : examine template probabilities of tracked pixel hits! if small, try fitting two hit hypotheses in both projections! take the angles to be the same for both hits! should improve template probabilities! produces 4 new hits w/ - fold ambiguity (-x X -y coords)!

24 Physics Currently have two separate efforts: Angular Analysis of new states decaying into leptons: Gritsan and Tran have studied the angular analysis of new states (Higgs, KK Gravitons) decaying into ZZ and then to 4 leptons Count Significance - use this analysis to study tracker alignment effects on real analyses - build framework for angular analyses of many possible final states 4

25 Third Generation Window on New Physics (DF, GG, PM, SR, MS): search for new physics with t, b, # final states - start with t-tbar final states at low luminosity! develop machinery for exotica search! use as calibration of efficiencies, mistag rates, etc (SR) Fractional Error Uncertainty Vs Background Shape Uncertainty, F =.4,, Lum = 1 fb BG Cross Section b-efficiency c-efficiency p-efficiency Background Uncertainty (%) - beginning development of a template-based pixel cluster splitting + retracking algorithm for tagging/reconstruction of highly boosted jets 5

26 JHU Group is currently leading several crucial efforts:! Pixel Reconstruction, Tracking, Simulation! Tracker Alignment! Physics Analysis Tools Summary! Frontier DBA for CMS Computing Unique innovations have put CMS well ahead of Atlas! better pixel resolution => better track resolution => better b-tagging! pixel shape information => faster tracking, better suppression of spurious hits, ability to split clusters in high-multiplicity environments! unique understanding of radiation damage => calibrate-able algorithms, fast simulation of irradiated pixel detectors Propose to continue this program and to:! restore NSF support to BB for CMS Computing (Frontier)! increase modestly student manpower to help busy faculty+postdocs 6
