Activities

• Physics simulation and analysis
• Detector simulation
• Developing reconstruction algorithms
• Preparation for physics analysis, discovery
  potentials
• Developing calibration algorithms, particularly
  track based alignment and ECAL energy calibration
• Test beam on-line off-line software and
  analysis
• To take care of our share of CMS computing
  challenge
• Computing, calibration and analysis of
  forthcoming real data!

Plans and future challenges

• 1 year goal (until the start of data taking mid
  2007)
• active tuning of the experiment software
  documentation
• active involvement in optimizing the alignment
  strategies
• active involvement in designing the analysis
  strategies
• collaboration with the HIP tracker project (test
  beam)
• long term (data taking and running the
  experiment)
• need all (and even more) manpower to
• maintain improve software with real data
• gradually improve the software alignment
• control the quality of data
• do competitive physics analysis
• strong response to the computing challenge
• In short computing, calibrations, physics
  analysis
