Details are given on the reconstruction of photons from energy deposits in the elec- tromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) and the extraction of photon energy estimates. The reconstruction of electron tracks from photons that convert to electrons in the CMS tracker is also described, as is the optimization of the photon energy reconstruction and its accurate modelling in simulation, in the analysis of the Higgs boson decay into two photons. In the barrel section of the ECAL, an energy resolution of about 1% is achieved for unconverted or late-converting photons from H ! gg decays. Different photon identification methods are discussed and their corresponding selection efficiencies in data are compared with those found in simulated events.

Particular emphasis is put on the use of photons in the observation and measurement of the dipho- ton decay of the Higgs boson [2]. For this decay mode, the energy resolution has significant impact on the sensitivity of the search and on the precision of measurements made in the analysis. The uncertainties related to the photon energy scale are the dominant contributions to the systematic uncertainty in the Higgs boson mass, mH = 124:70 ± 0:31(stat) ± 0:15(syst)GeV, measured in ref. [2]. The procedure employed to optimize the photon energy estimation and its accurate mod- elling in the simulation is described. This procedure relies on the large sample of recorded Z boson decays to dielectrons, whose showers are reconstructed as photons, and on simulation to model differences in detector response to electrons and photons. – 1 – The reconstruction of photons from the measured energy deposits in the electromagnetic cal- orimeter (ECAL) [3] and the extraction of a photon energy estimate is described, as well as the association of the electron tracks to clusters in the ECAL for photons that convert in the tracker. A large fraction of the energy deposited in the detector by all proton-proton interactions arises from photons originating in the decay of neutral mesons, and these electromagnetic showers provide a substantial background to signal photons. The use and interest of photons as signals or signatures in measurements and searches is therefore mainly focussed on those with high transverse momentum where this background is less severe. Photon selection methods used for the H ! gg channel and other analyses are described, together with measurements of the selection efficiency. The efficiency measured in data is compared with that found in simulated events. 2015 JINST 10 P08010 The paper starts with brief descriptions of the CMS detector (section2), paying particular attention to geometrical details of the electromagnetic calorimeter that are important for shower reconstruction, and of the data and simulated event samples used (section3). Section4 describes photon reconstruction in CMS: clustering of the shower energy deposited in the ECAL crystals, correction of the cluster energy and fine tuning of the calibration, photon energy resolution, and uncertainties in the photon energy scale. Section5 describes the reconstruction of the electron tracks resulting from photons that undergo conversion before reaching the ECAL. Section6 dis- cusses the separation of prompt photons from energy deposits originating from the decay of neutral mesons, describing two identification algorithms, and giving results on their performance. The main results are summarized in section7. 2 CMS detector The central feature of the CMS apparatus is a superconducting solenoid of 6 m internal diameter, providing a magnetic field of 3.8 T. Within the superconducting solenoid volume are a silicon pixel and strip tracker, a lead tungstate crystal electromagnetic calorimeter, and a brass/scintillator hadron calorimeter (HCAL), each one composed of a barrel and two endcap sections. Muons are measured in gas-ionization detectors embedded in the steel flux-return yoke outside the solenoid. Extensive forward calorimetry complements the coverage provided by the barrel and endcap detec- tors. A more detailed description of the CMS detector can be found in ref. [1]. The pseudorapidity coordinates, h, of detector elements are measured with respect to the coordinate system origin at the centre of the detector, whereas the pseudorapidity of reconstructed particles and jets is measured with respect to the interaction vertex from which they originate. The transverse energy, denoted by ET, is defined as the product of energy and sinq, with q being measured with respect to the origin of the coordinate system. Charged-particle trajectories are measured by the silicon pixel and strip tracker, with full az- imuthal coverage within jhj < 2:5. Consisting of 1 440 silicon pixel detector modules and 15 148 silicon strip detector modules, totalling about 10 million silicon strips and 60 million pixels, the silicon tracker provides an impact parameter resolution of ≈15 mm and a transverse momentum, pT, resolution of about 1.5% for charged particles with pT = 100GeV [4]. The total amount of material between the interaction point and the ECAL, in terms of radiation lengths (X0), raises from 0:4X0 close to h = 0 to almost 2X0 near jhj = 1:4, before falling to about 1:3X0 around jhj = 2:5. The probability of photon conversion before reaching the ECAL is – 2 – thus large and, since the resulting electrons (e+e− pairs) emit bremsstrahlung in the material, the electromagnetic shower of some photons starts to develop in the tracker.

Brannen "An Evening with Champions," the annual Jimmy Fund benefit run entirely by Harvard University students, made an early appearance this year on Sept. 9 and 10 at Harvard's Bright Arena. Nathan Chen, Polina Edmunds and Kimmie Meissner starred, along with two­time Olympic champions Oleg and Ludmila Protopopov and a host of skaters who are enrolled at Harvard. All proceeds from the show, which has raised more than $2.8 million over the past 46 years, benefit cancer care and research at the Dana­Farber Cancer Institute. On Saturday afternoon, families of young cancer patients and survivors, as well as siblings of the patients, were invited to the arena to skate. About a dozen kids took the ice with the stars of the show. http://web.icenetwork.com/news/2016/09/12/200902400/the-inside-edge-chen-edmunds-headline-ewc 1/5 6/30/2018 The Inside Edge: Chen, Edmunds headline 'EWC' | icenetwork.com: Your home for figure skating and speed skating.

The videos are crowdsourcingly annotated. On skating sports videos. To address this task, we propose a deep these video datasets, the most common efforts are mainly made architecture that includes two complementary components, i.e., on video classification [19], [21], video event detection [38], Self-Attentive LSTM and Multi-scale Convolutional Skip LSTM. These two components can efficiently learn the local and global action detection and so on. sequential information in each video. Furthermore, we present a Remarkably, inspired by Pirsiavash et al. [41], this paper large-scale figure skating sports video dataset – FisV dataset. This addresses a novel task of learning to score figure skating dataset includes 500 figure skating videos with the average length sport videos, which is very different from previous action of 2 minutes and 50 seconds. Each video is annotated by two recognition task. Specifically, in this task, the model must scores of nine different referees, i.e., Total Element Score(TES) and Total Program Component Score (PCS). Our proposed model understand every clip of figure skating video (e.g., averagely is validated on FisV and MIT-skate datasets.
