CMS Conveners
The CMS Conveners
The CMS Physics Coordination area has eight groups dedicated to different thematic physics analyses (PAGs), and eight groups focused on physics objects (POGs). There are four groups (SG) in charge of reconstruction, simulation, and algorithms and two cross-coordinated groups among PAGs and POGs.
The Physics Coordination office provides support in the development of triggers and in the development, maintenance, and use of analysis data formats (XPOG). The PC communication office prepares content for the dissemination of CMS physics results and sustains communication with the wider HEP community.
