SingleElectron primary dataset in MINIAOD format from RunG of 2016 (/SingleElectron/Run2016G-UL2016_MiniAODv2-v2/MINIAOD)

How were these data selected?

Events stored in this primary dataset were selected because of the presence of at least one high-energy electron, or at least one high-energy electron and one or more jets or tau.

Data taking / HLT
The collision data were assigned to different RAW datasets using the following HLT configuration.

Data processing
This MINIAOD dataset was processed from the RAW dataset by the following steps:

How were these data validated?

During data taking all the runs recorded by CMS are certified as good for physics analysis if all subdetectors, trigger, lumi and physics objects (tracking, electron, muon, photon, jet and MET) show the expected performance. Certification is based first on the offline shifters evaluation and later on the feedback provided by detector and Physics Object Group experts. Based on the above information, which is stored in a specific database called Run Registry, the Data Quality Monitoring group verifies the consistency of the certification and prepares a json file of certified runs to be used for physics analysis. For each reprocessing of the raw data, the above mentioned steps are repeated. For more information see:
