Physics tasks

  1. development of methods to determine efficiency, energy scale and resolution from data using "clean" signals like Z®mmg and cc®gJ/y®gmm for photons and Z®ee, J/y®ee and  ee for electrons
    bulletdevelop trigger and selection criteria
    bulletunderstand possible biases
    bulletdevelop analysis infrastructure so it can be run quickly after the data comes
  2. develop and optimize "vanilla" definitions for electron and photon identification
    bulletuseful for most analyses (except highly specialized ones)
    bulletdevelop standard software that calculates the ID variables
    bulletcharacterize performance (efficiency and fake rate) with/without trigger matching

Technical tasks (Algorithms)

  1. develop algorithms for in situ measurement of  tracker material
    bulletusing low ET photon conversions
    bulletusing high ET electrons from W/Z
  2. develop inter-calibration scheme for PbWO4 crystals in situ using p0 decays
    bullettrigger and off-line selection
    bulletposition and energy corrections for soft photons
    bulletmatrix inversion and iterative algorithms development

Technical tasks (Software)

  1. DST implementation in CMSSW
  2. translation of ORCA algorithms into CMSSW
  3. analysis of cosmic/beam tests data
