Pileup• The pileup in 2011 is on average <μ>=6
interactions per crossing• Significantly higher than 2010
• And than originally anticipated in early LHC running
• Tails up to 14 interactions per crossing• Due to some bunches with much higher currents
• Causes challenge for physics analyses and software• Detailed simulation models both the <μ>
and the bunch train structure• Reweighted according to data <μ> distribution
• Software performance significantly improved to accommodate Tier0 resources (reco time 11-13s/event)
• Physics performance reasonably unaffected• Jet energy scale uncertainty temporarily
increased for low pT jets
