Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 78Reconstruction and Identification of ? Lepton Decays To Hadrons and ?? at Cms(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2016) CMS Collaboration; Karapınar, GülerThis paper describes the algorithms used by the CMS experiment to reconstruct and identify τ → hadrons + νtau; decays during Run 1 of the LHC. The performance of the algorithms is studied in proton-proton collisions recorded at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb-1. The algorithms achieve an identification efficiency of 50-60%, with misidentification rates for quark and gluon jets, electrons, and muons between per mille and per cent levels.Article Citation - WoS: 208Citation - Scopus: 186Performance of Photon Reconstruction and Identification With the Cms Detector in Proton-Proton Collisions at ?s = 8 Tev(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2015) CMS Collaboration; Karapınar, GülerA 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 reconstruction of photons from energy deposits in the electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) and the extraction of photon energy estimates. The reconstruction of electron tracks from photons that convert to electrons in the CMS tracker is also described, as is the optimization of the photon energy reconstruction and its accurate modelling in simulation, in the analysis of the Higgs boson decay into two photons. In the barrel section of the ECAL, an energy resolution of about 1% is achieved for unconverted or late-converting photons from Hγγ decays. Different photon identification methods are discussed and their corresponding selection efficiencies in data are compared with those found in simulated events. © CERN 2015 for the benefit of the CMS collaboration.
