HLT Selection of Electrons and Photons

We report on the selection of electrons and photons at the HLT in the low LHC luminosity scenario of 2 times 10^33. Isolation cuts have been defined both for the single and double electron and photon streams. The new selection improves the efficiency of the most important signal processes such as H...

Sumario:We report on the selection of electrons and photons at the HLT in the low LHC luminosity scenario of 2 times 10^33. Isolation cuts have been defined both for the single and double electron and photon streams. The new selection improves the efficiency of the most important signal processes such as H -> ZZ* -> 4e and H -> gg while reducing the background rate compared to previous studies.
