Particle-flow reconstruction and global event description with the CMS detector

Albert M. Sirunyan, +2215 more
TL;DR: A fully-fledged particle-flow reconstruction algorithm tuned to the CMS detector was developed and has been consistently used in physics analyses for the first time at a hadron collider as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Event generator tunes obtained from underlying event and multiparton scattering measurements

Vardan Khachatryan, +2286 more
TL;DR: Combined fits to CMS UE proton–proton data at 7TeV and to UEProton–antiproton data from the CDF experiment at lower s, are used to study the UE models and constrain their parameters, providing thereby improved predictions for proton-proton collisions at 13.
Journal ArticleDOI

Performance of electron reconstruction and selection with the CMS detector in proton-proton collisions at √s = 8 TeV

Khachatryan, +2121 more
TL;DR: In this article, the performance and strategies used in electron reconstruction and selection at CERN LHC are presented based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 inverse femtobarns, collected in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV.
Journal ArticleDOI

Description and performance of track and primary-vertex reconstruction with the CMS tracker

S. Chatrchyan, +2387 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a description 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 positions of the LHC luminous region and individual primary-interaction vertices is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

The CMS trigger system

U. Bhawandeep, +2292 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the trigger system consists of two levels designed to select events of potential physics interest from a GHz (MHz) interaction rate of proton-proton (heavy ion) collisions.
