Measurement of visible cross sections in proton-lead collisions at root s(NN)=5.02 TeV in van der Meer scans with the ALICE detector
(Journal of Instrumentation, 2014)
In 2013, the Large Hadron Collider provided proton-lead and lead-proton collisions at the center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair root s(NN) = 5.02 TeV. Van der Meer scans were performed for both configurations of colliding ...
Beam test evaluation of electromagnetic calorimeter modules made from proton-damaged PbWO4 crystals
(Journal of Instrumentation, 2016)
The performance of electromagnetic calorimeter modules made of proton-irradiated PbWO4 crystals has been studied in beam tests. The modules, similar to those used in the Endcaps of the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL), ...
Description and performance of track and primary-vertex reconstruction with the CMS tracker
(Journal of Instrumentation, 2014)
A description is provided of the software algorithms developed for the CMS tracker both for reconstructing charged-particle trajectories in proton-proton interactions and for using the resulting tracks to estimate the ...
Reconstruction and identification of tau lepton decays to hadrons and nu(tau) at CMS
(Journal of Instrumentation, 2016)
This paper describes the algorithms used by the CMS experiment to reconstruct and identify tau - GT hadrons + nu(tau) decays during Run 1 of the LHC. The performance of the algorithms is studied in proton-proton collisions ...
Performance of electron reconstruction and selection with the CMS detector in proton-proton collisions at root s=8 TeV
(Journal of Instrumentation, 2015)
The performance and strategies used in electron reconstruction and selection at CMS are presented based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb(-1), collected in proton-proton collisions at root s = ...
Performance of photon reconstruction and identification with the CMS detector in proton-proton collisions at root s=8TeV
(Journal of Instrumentation, 2015)
A description is provided of the performance of the CMS detector for photon reconstruction and identification in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV at the CERN LHC. Details are given on the ...
Modelling Z - GT tau tau processes in ATLAS with tau-embedded Z - GT mu mu data
(Journal of Instrumentation, 2015)
This paper describes the concept, technical realisation and validation of a largely data-driven method to model events with Z - GT tau tau decays. In Z - GT mu mu events selected from proton-proton collision data recorded ...
Performance of the CMS missing transverse momentum reconstruction in pp data at root s=8 TeV
(Journal of Instrumentation, 2015)
The performance of missing transverse energy reconstruction algorithms is presented using root s = 8 TeV proton-proton (pp) data collected with the CMS detector. Events with anomalous missing transverse energy are studied, ...
Alignment of the CMS tracker with LHC and cosmic ray data
(Journal of Instrumentation, 2014)
The central component of the CMS detector is the largest silicon tracker ever built. The precise alignment of this complex device is a formidable challenge, and only achievable with a significant extension of the technologies ...
Performance of the ALICE VZERO system
(Journal of Instrumentation, 2013)
ALICE is an LHC experiment devoted to the study of strongly interacting matter in proton-proton, proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions at ultra-relativistic energies. The ALICE VZERO system, made of two scintillator ...
