An explanation of HCAL calibration method ("30aug06.pdf")

According to Viktor, the document is based on slides shown in a talk in Dubna given on 30aug06. Explained here is the calibration method used for 2007 calibration results shown by Victor at the Forward Calibration Meeting 22.10.10.

Hi all,

I think I can summarize Viktor's comments on the "30aug06.pdf" document
(http://cmsdoc.cern.ch/~kon/old/gj-imb/30aug06.pdf
is now a new 8-page version without some "insignificant" pages contained earlier).

Pages 4,7: presented are calibration results with a strong ET(gamma) dependence (two sets differ by selections); they are similar to the plot shown on Friday.

Page 6 (a formula above the plot to be ignored): shows the average values of ET (zero responses included) contained in an (HCAL?) eta ring (tower) for events used in a calibration. The energies are quite small. Sorry, I already forgot Viktor's comments on that.

Page 8 : the calibration is done for ET=~60 selecting only events with the jet in HE. This can be compared with the "all events" case on p.7. There is a big difference in the HB region: the corrections become few times smaller on p.8 where jets are absent and calibration is done in the HB region based on some soft stuff in the calo.

This has to demonstrate that the method may lead to an underestimation of the corrections due to inclusion of quasi-empty areas of the calo into the fit. According to Viktor, this was one of the reasons to abandon the method, and to start thinking of compact jets balancing the photon.

Now my own first toughts of this strange effect.

The question arises why does the method try to suppress the areas of soft response.
The HCAL is unlinear: the softer a probe is, the more undermeasured its energy is. Then why the method does not try to compensate for that with bigger corrections, and goes in the opposite direction?
Is it a noise response that the method suppresses?
Or, may be, it is a real soft signal, most of which is just lost under the cell threshold (of order of 1 GeV?), and only the cases where it strongly fluctuates to bigger values above the threshold, get (over)measured?

BTW, such effects may be important for any method...
I hope the answers are already known to somebody...

Cheers, Sasha

Dear colleagues,

I suggest to look at the report of Semenov 2006:

• http://cmsdoc.cern.ch/~kon/old/gj-imb/Semenov.ppt

• http://cmsdoc.cern.ch/~kon/old/gj-imb/kon2nov10.pdf

I can count coefficients C_i on new productions or under the real data. I badly know CMSSW. I without problems will calculate C_i if to me someone makes calculation for approximately 100 000 events according slide 4 ("2th method"):
http://cmsdoc.cern.ch/~kon/old/gj-imb/kon2nov10.pdf:
E_x^ECAL, ETAjet, E^x_1, ... E_x_41
and
E_y^ECAL, ETAjet, E^y_1, ... E_y_41 for |ETA_index|=1,... 41
