Dataset characteristics

76758754 events. 55 files. 74.4 GiB in total.

System details

NANOAOD datasets are in the ROOT tree format and their analysis does not require the use of CMSSW or CMS open data environments. They can be analysed with common ROOT and Python tools.


Recommended container image for analyses is available in the following locations (see guide):

Dataset semantics

Variable list

How were these data selected?

Events stored in this primary dataset were selected because of the presence of at least one tau, or one tau and muon or high missing transverse momentum.

How were these data validated?

During data taking all the runs recorded by CMS are certified as good for physics analysis if all subdetectors, trigger, lumi and physics objects (tracking, electron, muon, photon, jet and MET) show the expected performance. Certification is based first on the offline shifters evaluation and later on the feedback provided by detector and Physics Object Group experts. Based on the above information, which is stored in a specific database called Run Registry, the Data Quality Monitoring group verifies the consistency of the certification and prepares a json file of certified runs to be used for physics analysis. For each reprocessing of the raw data, the above mentioned steps are repeated. For more information see:
