Pileup• The pileup in 2011 is on average <μ>=6

interactions per crossing• Significantly higher than 2010

• And than originally anticipated in early LHC running

• Tails up to 14 interactions per crossing• Due to some bunches with much higher currents

• Causes challenge for physics analyses and software• Detailed simulation models both the <μ>

and the bunch train structure• Reweighted according to data <μ> distribution

• Software performance significantly improved to accommodate Tier0 resources (reco time 11-13s/event)

• Physics performance reasonably unaffected• Jet energy scale uncertainty temporarily

increased for low pT jets
