Summary and Schedule
During the group lessons, we will focus on using traditional CMS ``physics objects” to design an analysis. This pre-reading is intended to familiarize you with how these objects are reconstructed by CMS and how they appear in the 2016 NanoAOD files.
| Setup Instructions | Download files required for the lesson | |
| Duration: 00h 00m | 1. Intro to CMS Physics Objects |
What do we call physics objects in CMS? How are physics objects reconstructed? How are physics objects represented in NanoAOD? |
| Duration: 00h 05m | 2. Electrons & Photons |
What are electromagnetic objects How are electrons treated in CMS? What variables are available in NanoAOD? |
| Duration: 00h 15m | 3. Muons & Tau leptons |
How are muons reconstructed in CMS? How are muons treated in CMS OpenData? How are tau leptons reconstructed in CMS? |
| Duration: 00h 25m | 4. Jets and MET | How are jets and missing transverse energy treated in CMS Open Data? |
| Duration: 00h 40m | 5. Jet flavor tagging |
How are b hadrons identified in CMS? How are the parent particles of large-radius jets identified in CMS? |
| Duration: 01h 00m | Finish |
The actual schedule may vary slightly depending on the topics and exercises chosen by the instructor.
