USCMS First Physics Workshop
|
With the CMS Physics Groups spearheading preparation for the analysis of early LHC data in a variety of high-priority channels, many US CMS groups are organizing and educating themselves, and trying to find the most effective ways to contribute to this international effort.
At the Fermilab LPC there is local expertise in a variety of object IDs, simulation, trigger, and physics areas that can facilitate and support US contributions to this CMS-wide Physics Commissioning effort. The LPC is organizing a local US workshop on first physics with the CMS detector scheduled for Oct. 11-13 at Fermilab. The workshop will follow the format of the successful initial June meeting with parallel sessions on the analysis of first physics tolopologies. A registration page will be posted soon soliciting interest in a number of final states: J+J, J+MET, Photons, Lept+J+MET, Dilepton, and Dilepton+J+MET which cover most of the topics of initial interest. Contributions to these sessions are welcome as are suggestions of additional toploogies.
There will be plenary talks and status reports on experiment-wide developments on commissioning, trigger and physics objects with a focus on US participation in these projects. There is the possibility to organize analysis tutorials on Oct.10th if there is sufficient interest.
The workshop will take place at Fermilab, Thursday, Friday and Saturday October 11-13, 2007. The first day will be devoted to a presentation of CMS plans and needs, and a discussion of areas of interest to USCMS, with reports of work-in-progress following the June Workshop. The second day will focus on the parallel sessions where interested parties will organize themselves around final state topologies. We plan to finish with status reports summarizing the parallel sessions on Saturday.
Please make your own arrangements. A list of hotels close to Fermilab can be found here. There is limited on-site housing.
