Calibration and Alignment Release Notes - CMSSW_2_1_x

• General:

• Main changes and new features:
  • Ecal and Hcal : alignable geometry introduced
  • Ecal Electron Calibration: added calibration in the Endcap
  • HcalIsoTrack : regional FED unpacking and new tracking
  • Hcal dijet uses iterativecone5 instead of cone7
  • DT calibration: added module to check db constants for tTrig
  • Tracker alignment: treatment of components of 'glued' 2D strip modules to misalign wrt to each other
  • Muon alignment: make the chambers AlignableDets to prepare alignment with RecSegments
  • Conditions: New CondFormats for pixel and Strip with reduced size. Use 10TeV beamspot conditions. Additional conditions (thresholds) for tracker calibration.
  • Global Tag: Now a tracked parameter
  • AlCaReco: SiStripCalMinBias and SiPixelLorentzAngle can now be run from RECO, since clusters are stored.

• Major bug fixes:
  • In Ecal Phi Simmetry, Hcal dijets
  • In Calibration/Tools fix ecal xmlwriter
  • fix to adjust handling of monitoring histograms> No collection anymore

• Known issues:
