 L1-tau trigger for LHC phase-1 - performance plots /CMS Collaboration A new algorithm dedicated to the tau lepton trigger at Level-1 has been developed for the phase-1 of the LHC. A thorough study of the tau energy deposits in the CMS calorimeters performed directly on data taken during the LHC Run 1 has guided the development of this new algorithm.

 Performance of the Mean-Timer algorithm for DT Local Reconstruction and muon time measurement. /CMS Collaboration The Mean-Timer algorithm has been recently implemented as default for the local reconstruction within the CMS Drift Tubes (DT), for muons that appear to be out-of-time (OOT) or lack measured hits on one of the two space projections. Besides improving the spatial resoluton for OOT muons, this method allows a precise time measurement that can be used to tag OOT muons, in order either to reject them (e.g. [...] CMS-DP-2014-021; CERN-CMS-DP-2014-021.- Geneva : CERN, 2014 - 9 p.

 ECAL Timing Performance /CMS Collaboration The CMS electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) is made of about 75000 scintillating lead tungstate crystals arranged in a barrel and two endcaps. The scintillation light is read out by avalanche photodiodes in the barrel and vacuum phototriodes in the endcaps, at which point the scintillation pulse is amplified and sampled at 40 MHz by the on-detector electronics.

 Centrality measurement in pPb collisions To measure the centrality dependence of any observable in pPb, the binary scaling factors (Ncoll) between pp and pPb have to be determined for each centrality class. The centrality biases for each analysis has to be studied and corrected. [...] CMS-DP-2014-009; CERN-CMS-DP-2014-009.- Geneva : CERN, 2014 - 23 p. Fulltext: PDF;
