\section{Plans for Calibrations with Early Data}
|
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Based on the current status of the calibration methods we have decided to
|
| 4 |
exercise a subset of the presented scheme in Figure~\ref{figure:hcalWorkflow}
|
| 5 |
for early data.
|
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
After collecting $\sim10~pb^{-1}$ of data we expect to be able to provide
|
| 8 |
relative azimuthal corrections from MinimumBias events and set the energy scale
|
| 9 |
with $40-60$~GeV isolated tracks as a function of $i\eta$ (in the region
|
| 10 |
with tracking coverage).
|
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
The estimates of $\sim10~pb^{-1}$ for isolated tracks is contingent on timely inclusion
|
| 13 |
of the HLT for data taking. In the December 2009 collisions data triggers that
|
| 14 |
require tracking were not active. Subsequent offline analysis of the data
|
| 15 |
revealed the presence of some timing problems related to tracking (not caused by our code).
|
| 16 |
We hope that these issues will be resolved by the start of 7~TeV collisions.
|
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Additional consistency checks will be performed using
|
| 19 |
the jet samples that include monitoring of the ratio of energy in long/short fibers
|
| 20 |
in HF, the energy scale in +/- sides of HF and HE with no tracking coverage.
|
| 21 |
The monitoring may yield relative correction factors in case of abnormal response.
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Before accumulating the noted statistics we will perform tests of the workflow with
|
| 24 |
lower momentum tracks and extract information on relative channel response.
|
| 25 |
However, response corrections that adjust the energy scale will be obtained
|
| 26 |
directly with the predefined $40-60$~GeV tracks. The inclusion of these corrections
|
| 27 |
constitute a significant change of the scale in HB/HE that will require
|
| 28 |
redefinition of various jet corrections that are build on top of the raw detector
|
| 29 |
energies.
|
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Calibrations with larger data samples and additional techniques under development will be
|
| 32 |
discussed in a subsequent update or a separate note.
