8 DoE/NSF Review, May, 998 Simulation programs FSTSIM - Fast simulation of event response Simplified CMS geometry, uniform tracking medium, decays of mesons, and parameterized calorimeter showers are implemented. CMSIM - Version CMS standard GEANT based detector simulation Detailed geometry for calorimeter, average response for tracker but no preshower. PYTHIA - common for FSTSIM/CMSIM QCD background events are used for rate studies. High P t signal events, e.g., top, Higgs and SUSY particle decays, are used for efficiency studies. Noise hits are superposed with high P t events. Minimum bias included - FSTSIM minbias is added for both CMSIM and FSTSIM high P t events. Trigger simulation - common for FSTSIM/CMSIM Various digital scales with limited resolution and dynamic range involved in the trigger system are fully implemented. Algorithms are performed in integer arithmetic using memory lookup tables when needed. 8

9 Electron/photon Efficiency - CMSIM vs FSTSIM Efficiency for triggering top to electron decay events is plotted versus the P t of the electron for various cuts. Identical values for the four cut parameters yield similar efficiencies - custom tuning was not necessary. All efficiencies are over 9%. DoE/NSF Review, May, 998 9

10 EM Rates - CMSIM vs FSTSIM Integrated rate above E t cut is plotted versus E t cut. All four, i.e., finegrain, HAC veto, neighbor HAC veto and quiet neighborhood, cuts are included. For 25 GeV E t cut, CMSIM rate is 9 khz versus to 4 khz in FASTSIM. DoE/NSF Review, May, 998

11 EM Rate Breakdown Rates after finegrain and quiet neighborhood cuts match but those after HAC veto and neighbor HAC veto cuts do not. DoE/NSF Review, May, 998

Therefore, longitudinal profile, i.e., H/E ratio is also different. This leads to the difference in rates. Should examine this further. DoE/NSF Review, May, 998 2

Rates are in reasonable agreement More statistics are needed to get the correct spectrum at high E t. DoE/NSF Review, May, 998 3

N-jet efficiency is cumulative of all jet cuts -N. CMSIM efficiency turn-on is somewhat slower than FSTSIM UW-Madison CMS PbWO 4 Calorimeter Level- trigger simulation L = 34 cm -2 s - Single jet E t > GeV Double jet E t > 6 GeV Triple jet E t > 3 GeV Quadruple jet E t > 2 GeV Reconstructed Jet P t (GeV) This can be explained by the lower energy deposition for the hadrons in the events. DoE/NSF Review, May, 998 4

15 Missing and total E t Rates Integrated rates above missing and total E t trigger cutoffs are plotted versus the missing and total E t cutoff respectively. The agreement between CMSIM and FSTSIM is quite good. Efficiency studies are underway. DoE/NSF Review, May, 998 5
