Current LogBook (spreadsheet)

High Level Deliverables Summary

3.2.1.1 Evaluation of Artemis and the Physics Analysis Event Data Model (PAEDM) - C. Collins-Tooth and P. Sherwood. Joint deliverable with WP4 to determine which analysis tool will be used as the basis of the comparator.

3.2.1: PM09 (Dec '04): Completion of specification document for the 'Comparator' toolkit.

3.2.2: PM15 (Jun '05): Example comparison code for electron and/or b-tagging efficiencies integrated using ‘Comparator’ standard module.

3.2.3: PM18 (Sep '05): First production version of ATLFast/GEANT 'Comparator' toolkit. Completion of first round of ATLFast parameterisations.

3.2.4: PM21 (Dec '05): Second version of 'Comparator' toolkit, after experience gained with first production version.

3.2.5: Completion of revised ATLFast parameterisations. SUSPENDED

3.2.6: PM27 (Jun '06): Feasibility study of smearing approach with rudimentary efficiencies and species cross-contamination (e.g. for electrons and photons) made and presented to ATLFast Validation group.

3.2.7: PM30 (Sep '06): Depending upon results of 3.2.6, implement single particle efficiencies and cross-contaminations into ATLFast for electrons, photons, jets, pions, and taus.

3.2.8: PM33 (Dec '06): Isolation studies for efficiencies and cross-contaminations completed.

3.2.9: PM36 (Mar '07): AtlfastC (package to implement efficiencies and cross contaminations in Atlfast) incorporated into ATLAS release, with full user documentation provided.

3.2.10: PM39 (Jun '08): Completion of automated approach to provide efficiency and contamination matrix elements for each new software version.

3.2.11: PM48 (Mar '09): Tuning of Atlfast smearing including efficiency matrix input.
