Physics

56 Why specifically pi-? pi+ is different in regards to HCAL?
198 Why would muons cause an energy deficit in the calorimeter?
212 - 214 Only jet and met count as physics objects? What about leptons?
228 How is pileup included in simulation?
265 And the values are?
299 Shouldn't it be E^signal = 0?
419 Independent here means what? Statistically independent? Different simulation settings?
477 - 479  If both the em and had components are 0 then these jets would also have either long or short as 0 after ZS too, no? Rather, how can these be reconstructed at all? HF muons?
535 15 degree cone? in theta phi or...

Language

102 "A wedge is contains..."
148 "The short start 12.5 X0 into the calorimeter" - something feels missing here
158 "a zero suppression mechanism is introduced which selections only those channels which have at least one sample above a threshold for recording." -> "a zero suppression mechanism is introduced which selects only channels that have at least one sample above a threshold to be recorded"
182 the comma there feels a bit odd
191 "e.g.," in bracket not needed
193 as above
197 as above
199 "neither identified as electrons, nor as muons" -> "that are not identified as electrons or muons"
205 "The jet's momentum" -> "The jet momentum"
207 "of the true momentum" -> "of its true momentum"
218 is "often" needed here?
241, 244 "This method is described in more detail..." probably not needed, especially 5.1 comes right afterward
274 What does "typical" mean here? Remove.
291 "a special trigger" doesn't feel needed. "The analysis is done using MB events that are recorded without HCAL zero suppression applied" is enough
293 Seems rather obvious to me that no trigger would be applied when LHC isn't running. Maybe just "... data set taken during the so-called pedestal runs when the LHC is not running."
295 "after suitable normalization" is ubiquitous in our field that it doesn't seem necessary
319 "HF (right)" put space
324 remove "somewhat smaller,"
387 no need bracket
402 remove "'s"
404 remove delta, the second definition in 413 is enough
411 remove "which includes a quadratic term"
417 remove the sentence "One set of coeff...", Eq10 says exactly that (if not, you'd be deriving the values in finer binning)
422 remove "obtained from this sample"
424 "due to the applied correction for pileup" -> "due to pileup correction"
Fig 8: "no" and "yes" in the legend is a bit funny. Maybe "w/o pileup correction" and "with pileup correction" instead
439 "The formulation..." the whole sentence feels off...
444 "becomes three times smaller than" -> "becomes smaller than one third of"
459 remove "the means of the"
476 "Electron candidate jets" might be better to use "HF electron candidates" as is done in 483
480 "energy deposits of" to not repeat "from"
492 "candidate's"
494 imo H/E < 1.2 sufficienty implies E != 0...
525 remove "there are"
526, 532 - 544, 567 - 569 remove semicolon and "and"
528 "yielded" -> "leading to"
536 "scalar pt sum"
