Introduction to Physics Objects in CMS: Glossary

Key Points

Introduction
  • Basic information about physics objects in CMS can be found in the Cern Open Data portal site. A set of questions need to be answered in our assignment form.

The CMS detector
  • The CMS detector is a complex machine with multiple subsystems and technologies dedicated to identify/build physics objects.

Egamma and other physics objects
  • Egamma physics objects are built using information from the tracking system as well as the ECAL subdetector. It is a vivid example of physics objects reconstruction.

The Particle Flow algorithm and reconstruction of other objects
  • The PF algorithm aims at reconstructing and identifying all stable particles in the event, which can be later used to build other physics objects.
