CMS-speak: Acronymania

CERN - No longer stands for "European Council for Nuclear Research" LHC - Large Hadron Collider CMS - guess HCAL - Hadron Calorimeter HF - HCAL Forward HB - HCAL Barrel HE - HCAL Endcap HES - (5-degree cells in phi) HED - (10-degree cells in phi) HO - HCAL Outer HOB - HO Barrel HOE - HO Endcap HLT - High Level Trigger DCS - a Detector Control System (aka Slow Control) DCC - guess CDF - Common Data Format TPG - Trigger Primitive Generator, used interchangably with "Trigger Primitives" CSC - Cathode Strip Chamber EMU - Endcap MUon detectors RPC - Resistive Plate Chamber TGC - Thin Gap Chamber TGC - Triple Gauge Coupling FED - Front End Driver ASIC - Application Specific Integrated Circuit HTR - HCAL Trigger Readout card TTC - Trigger Timing and Control TTCf - TTC fanout TTCex - TTCci - TTC CMS Interface TTCvi - TTC VME interface replaced by the TCCci TTCrx - the TTC interface TTS - Trigger Throttling System TS - Trigger Supervisor, Track Segment (from muon system) RCMS - Run Control Management System RT - Regional Trigger GT - Global Trigger HLT - High Level Trigger DQM - Data Quality Monitoring QPLL - Quartz? Phase-Locked Loop FW - FirmWare HW - HardWare SW - SoftWare CMSSW - the whole schmear around cmsRunEDM - Event Data Model (RAW, RECO, AOD) RECO - data which was reconstructed (cf RAW) AOD - Analysis Object Data (see RECO) RAW - FEVT - Full Event Framework - cmsRun - the only thing that CMSSW can do LCG - WLCG - CERN CA - CMS VO - Virtual Organization configuration document PR - Prompt Reconstruction candidate shallow clone master clone ownvector composite candidate ZS - Zero Suppression XMAS - XDAQ Monitoring and Alarming Suite TTCov - sTTS - synchronous TTS aTTS - asynchronous TTS CDAQ - ? cross DAQ XDAQ - Cross DAQ RNDM - just means random LXR - a cross referencer made by sourceforge, I think. G4 particle - Geant4 ? NPE - Number of PhotoElectrons SC (SC energy) - Super Cluster ME - Monitoring Element SM Eventserver - Storage Manager Eventserver DT Source - Drift Tube Source? LTC - Local Trigger Clock? Local Track C-something? BGO - a scintillator DDU - Detector Dependent Unit (deprecated in favor of FED) WE - weekend TT - something ECAL DPG - Detector Performance Group GOH - GOL typo CASTOR - CERN Advanced STORage Manager (Note the silent M.) scram - Source, Configuration, Release, and Management tool DT - Drift Tube MTCC - Muon Test Cosmic Challenge? MIP - Minimum Ionizing Pulse / Module Integrated Package TIG - Technical Implementation Group DP - Detector Performance PO - Physics Object PA - Physics Analysis CCM -Clock and Control Module (which control RBX) ZDC - Zero Degree Calorimeter RAC - Remote Analysis Center (DQM context) ES - PreShower EE - Ecal Endcap LRB - a Link Receiver Board on the DCC SLB - Serial Link Board on the HTR GREM - Global Run End of May TQAF - Top Quark Analysis Framework TCM - AOB - All Other Business SM - SealModule BGo - BunchCount Go DY - Drell-Yan LPC - LHC Physics Center CRAB - CMS Remote Analysis Builder GVA - Geneva time zone SP - Sector Protector? DSS - Detector Safety System SOAP - UAF - User Analysis Farm, part of FNAL's T1 USCMS facilities. DBS - CMS Data Bookkeeping System DBS2 - the second version of DBS AFS - Andrew File System, cf NFS GSF - Gaussian Sum Fitter SL3, SL4 - Scientific Linux 3,4 FEVT - Full Event DTTF - Drift Tube Track Finder? MTTF - Muon Trigger Track Finder TF - Track Finder TCS - GREJ - the (2007) Global Run End of July UI - sometimes, the GRID GUI RB - Resource Broker : "central job submission instance" CE - Computing Element: "GRID door to compute farm" SE - Storage Element WN - Worker Node EDG - European Data Grid EGEE - replaces EDG: European Grid to Enable E-science OSG - Open Science Grid (The US EGEE equivalent) SAM - Site Availability Monitoring BOSS - the program which CRAB is obscuring. LFN - Logical File Name PFN - Physical File Name SBL - PVSS - "PVSS II is a SCADA system - Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition System" Prozessvisualisierungs- und Steuerungssystem SCADA - Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition System HFP - HF Positioning? HEP - HE Positioning? myrfb - FBO - GMT - Global Muon Trigger GTFE - Glob FMM - LVTMM - Low Voltage, Temperature Monitoring, & Measurement QIE - Charge Integration & Encoder
