 Performance of the Pixel Luminosity Telescope for Luminosity Measurement at CMS during Run 2 /CMS Collaboration The Pixel Luminosity Telescope (PLT) is a dedicated system for luminosity measurement at the CMS experiment using silicon pixel sensors arranged into "telescopes", each consisting of three planes. It was installed during LS1 at the beginning of 2015 and has been providing online and offline luminosity measurements throughout Run 2.

 Heavy Flavour distributions from CMS with 2017 data at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV /CMS Collaboration We report plots on heavy flavour from the first data collected in 2017 by CMS at LHC at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV. Dimuon invariant mass spectra obtained with triggers deployed for heavy flavour analyses, performance plots on quarkonia and b hadrons are included..

 Missing transverse energy performance in high pileup data collected by CMS in 2016 /CMS Collaboration In this note we summarize the Missing Transverse Energy (ETmiss) performance using the high pile up proton-proton collisions data at 13 TeV recorded by CMS in 2016. Resolution of ETmiss using two different algorithms, Particle Flow and Puppi, are measured in events with an identified Z boson.. CMS-DP-2017-028; CERN-CMS-DP-2017-028.- Geneva : CERN, 2017 - 8 p.

 W and top tagging scale factors /CMS Collaboration This note presents an improved determination of the efficiency and data/MC scale factors for the identification of hadronically decaying top quarks using the full 2016 CMS dataset. Also shown is an improved measurement of the W boson tagging performance using the full 2016 CMS dataset. [...] CMS-DP-2017-026; CERN-CMS-DP-2017-026.- Geneva : CERN, 2017 - 25 p. Fulltext: PDF;

 Level-1 E/Gamma and Muon performance on 2017 data /CMS Collaboration After the first long shutdown, the LHC has restarted at a centre-of-mass energy of 13~TeV. In 2016, the LHC achieved an instantaneous luminosity larger than $10^{34}$~$\mathrm{cm}^{-2}\cdot\mathrm{s}^{-1}$ and a peak average pile-up of more than 40. The CMS Level-1 trigger architecture has undergone a full upgrade in order to maintain and improve the trigger performance under these new conditions.

 CMS Tracker Alignment Performance Results 2016 /CMS Collaboration The tracking system of the CMS detector provides excellent resolution for charged particle tracks and an efficient way of tagging jets. In order to reconstruct good quality tracks, the position and orientation of each silicon pixel and strip module needs to be determined with a precision of several micrometers.
