 DT hit efficiency measurements with reduced high voltage /CMS Collaboration Efficiency measurements were carried out on the CMS Drift Tubes (DT) applying anode High Voltage lower than nominal. The "HV scans", performed periodically with cosmic rays, allowed to exclude detector ageing during Run 2, and also to assess the effect of lowering the Front End threshold.

 ECAL 2018 refined calibration and Preshower Run 2 performance plots /CMS Collaboration Many physics analyses using the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at the LHC require accurate, high resolution electron and photon energy measurements. Following the excellent performance achieved in Run I at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) is operating at the LHC with proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV center-of-mass energy.

 Emittance scans comparison with LHC wire scanner /CMS Collaboration High-luminosity production at the LHC is closely linked to the size of the transverse beam emittance. However emittance measurement is challenging. [...] CMS-DP-2019-039; CERN-CMS-DP-2019-039.- Geneva : CERN, 2019 - 16 p. Fulltext: PDF;

 Performance of a standalone simulation and potential improvements of the ECAL trigger primitive algorithms using LHC Run 2 data /CMS Collaboration This note presents the performance of the ECAL trigger primitive algorithms in LHC Run 2, focusing on the reconstruction of signal amplitudes in the ECAL endcaps. Results are presented on the performance of the standalone simulation and on potential improvements in these algorithms that are being considered for LHC Run 3..

 Efficiency of the Pixel sensors used in the Precision Proton Spectrometer: radiation damage /CMS Collaboration The Precision Proton Spectrometer (PPS) is a forward-proton spectrometer using near-beam detectors (inside Roman Pots, RPs) located symmetrically on both sides of IP5 at a distance of about 220 m. In 2017 (2018) two (four) RPs were equipped with with 3D pixel sensors, which by the end of Run-II collected $\sim$100/fb. This note describes the method used to evaluate the effect of the non-uniform irradiation on the readout chip, and its consequences on the efficiency..

 Time resolution of the diamond sensors used in the Precision Proton Spectrometer /CMS Collaboration The Precision Proton Spectrometer (PPS) is a forward-proton spectrometer using near-beam detectors (inside Roman Pots, RPs) located symmetrically on both sides of IP5 at a distance of about 220 m. In addition to the tracking system, timing detectors were installed in 2017 to measure the Time-Of-Flight (TOF) of the protons produced in central exclusive interactions.

 Pixel Luminosity Telescope per-channel data with and without reweighting derived from emittance scans to account for detector efficiency and linearity /CMS Collaboration We present Pixel Luminosity Telescope (PLT) per-channel luminosity values as a function of time, showing the total (i.e., over all bunches) instantaneous luminosity as measured by the PLT detector with and without reweighting derived from emittance scans to account for detector efficiency and linearity. A part of the fill 6860 is shown.. CMS-DP-2019-032; CERN-CMS-DP-2019-032.- Geneva : CERN, 2019 - 5 p. Fulltext: PDF;

 CMS ECAL trigger plots /CMS Collaboration This note presents the performance of the ECAL trigger primitive algorithms in LHC Run 2, focusing on the reconstruction of signal amplitudes in the ECAL barrel and endcaps, and the rejection of anomalous signals in the ECAL barrel photodetectors. Results are also presented on potential improvements in these algorithms that are being considered for LHC Run 3.. CMS-DP-2019-031; CERN-CMS-DP-2019-031.- Geneva : CERN, 2019 - 43 p. Fulltext: PDF;
