Questions

Objectives

• Learn how to access and play with the trigger objects in our data

• Compute the efficiency of a specific HLT path

• Inspecting its Level 1 (L1) seed

The focus will be on some HLT paths used during the 2023 data-taking to select events with a certain amount of missing transverse energy HLT_PFMET*.
