Support for detector efficiency corrections for 7TeV CMS data

Hi, despite the long silence - apologies for that - we’ve been following this up. Just a brief update:

  1. For the efficiencies, there is a study in https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-0221/9/10/P10009/pdf. Are the values shown in that note of direct use to you, or would you need to estimate them for different kinematic selections?

  2. We are looking at the options for the 7 TeV minimum bias sample which we, unfortunately, do not have available with the same software version as the released 7 TeV data. We have two options, either provide a dataset with an earlier software version (CMSSW_4 series, requiring slc5 environment), or eventually generate a sample with the one corresponding to the released data (CMSSW_5_3_X). Would one of these options be useful for you?

Best, Kati
