Physics validation from Physics Analysis Groups (PAGs)

The Responsible for Physics validation from PAGs works within the PPD/PdmV (Physics Data and Monte Carlo Validation) group of CMS with the following charge:

• Coordinate and assist the PAG validation experts in order to provide the timely delivery of physics validation of new offline reconstruction software releases, before they are put in production.
• Establish communication lines and exchange of informations useful for validation, both orizontally (among PAGs contacts) and vertically (with Physics Object Groups - POGs and Detector Performance Groups - DPGs)
• Promote the use of central software tools in validation procedures
• Scout for new experts to devote to PAGs validation
• Invite PAG contacts to make reports in the joint Data Quality Monitoring (DQM)-PdmV meeting on the status of validation within their PAG
• Coordinate the developments of new projects within physics validation. In particular Francesco Fabozzi is responsible for bringing the Event Interpretation used in physics analyses within validation
