Performance of the local reconstruction algorithms for the CMS hadron calorimeter with Run 2 data
JINST 18 (2023) P11017
Abstract: A description is presented of the algorithms used to reconstruct energy deposited in the CMS hadron calorimeter during Run 2 (2015--2018) of the LHC. During Run 2, the characteristic bunch-crossing spacing for proton-proton collisions was 25 ns, which resulted in overlapping signals from adjacent crossings. The energy corresponding to a particular bunch crossing of interest is estimated using the known pulse shapes of energy depositions in the calorimeter, which are measured as functions of both energy and time. A variety of algorithms were developed to mitigate the effects of adjacent bunch crossings on local energy reconstruction in the hadron calorimeter in Run 2, and their performance is compared.

A cross sectional view of the HB and HE in the $ r-z $ plane. The i.e.,ta coordinates are labeled, and the depth segmentation is coded in different colors. The number of depths of the HE was increased before the 2018 data-taking period. The location of the front-end electronics (labeled ``FEE'') is also shown.

Average pulse shape for high-energy depositions for a channel in the HE. The red solid line is the pulse shape used in reconstruction algorithms with 1 ns granularity. The yellow filled histogram is constructed from the red shape by integrating over each 25 ns TS. The SOI corresponds to the TS from 75 to 100 ns.

Summary
Four local energy reconstruction algorithms for the CMS hadron calorimeter (HCAL) have been presented in this paper and their performance compared. When the bunch-crossing spacing is at least 50 ns, Method 0 performs well; however, a pulse-shape fitting algorithm must be used when the spacing is only 25 ns. The performance of Method 2 is strong under conditions of high out-of-time pileup, but its long reconstruction time makes it unusable in the high-level trigger. The use of a different algorithm, such as Method 3, to accommodate the time constraints of online reconstruction is possible, but the deleterious effects of mismatched algorithms make this solution undesirable. ``Minimization at HCAL, Iteratively'' is a pulse-shape fitting algorithm that readily suppresses out-of-time pileup and has good intrinsic energy resolution, and is also sufficiently fast to run in the high-level trigger. Hence, it was the preferred local energy reconstruction algorithm for HCAL by the end of Run 2.
