Abstract

The performance of electron and photon reconstruction and identification in CMS has been studied at √s = 7 TeV. Reconstruction and identification variables as well as isolation variables have been compared between data and Monte Carlo for signal and background. Electron reconstruction and selection efficiencies, electron fake rate and photon purity have been determined and compared with Monte Carlo predictions. Level 1 Trigger and High Level Trigger efficiencies have been measured. In this work the data collected correspond to an integrated luminosity of Lint = 200 nb 1.
