On b- and tau-multiplicities per event in SUSY (mSUGRA) and instrumental implications
We investigate the probability to find a b or tau in SUSY production with the
mSUGRA model. We find that in the entire parameter space the probability per
event to find a b-jet of E_T^b > 50 GeV within CMS acceptance (eta < 2.4) is
significant for all tan(beta), varying from a 10 % level to 90 % depending on
the m_0, m_1/2 region. The probabilities per event to find a tau with the same
kinematical cuts is also significant and it increases sharply with tan(beta).
These findings point to the central role a microvertex device would play in
case that SUSY (mSUGRA) is indeed realized in nature and found at the LHC.
First investigations done in the context of the more general MSSM scenario
confirm the findings based on mSUGRA.Comment: 19 pages, 13 figures, 3 table
The CMS detector and physics at the LHC
We discuss the physics issues at the LHC, the CMS detector, one of the two general purpose detectors planned at the LHC, and the expected physics performance of LHC detectors in the search for SM and SUSY Higgs bosons, some SUSY particle searches and some possibilities in B and heavy ion physics
Proučavanje H → ZZ → 4ℓ ± pomoću cjelovite geant simulacije detektora CMS
We study the detection of H → ZZ → 4ℓ ± in the CMS detector at the nominal LHC energy √ s = 14 TeV and the possibility for an early detection at a reduced energy √ s = 10 TeV. A systematic study of the multi–lepton mass resolution is performed, including effects of internal and external radiation through detailed GEANT simulations. At √ s = 14 TeV, an integrated luminosity of 104 pb−1 allows exploration at a ≥ 5σ significance level a mass range from mH ≈ 2mZ up to mH ≈ 400 GeV. For 105 pb−1 , the mass reach is about 650 GeV. At √ s = 10 TeV, an integrated luminosity of 104 pb−1 does not provide a 5σ significance level for any value of Higgs mass, and 2 × 104 pb−1 alows one to explore a mass range from mH ≈ 2mZ to ≈ 350 GeV at ≥ 5σ level.Proučava se detekcija H → ZZ → 4ℓ ± procesa u detektoru CMS na nominalnoj energiji LHC √ s = 14 TeV i mogućnost ranijeg opažanja na manjoj energiji od 10 TeV.

Report of experience in the use of palate prosthesis
La disfunción velofaríngea (DVF) es el resultado de un inadecuado funcionamiento de estructuras dinámicas que trabajan para controlar el mecanismo velofaringeo, (paladar blando, las paredes laterales y pared
posterior de faringe) que separa las cavidades nasal y oral durante el habla. La DVF, causada por falta de tejidos se denomina insuficiencia velofaríngea (IVF), y es un factor generador de problemas en el habla por defecto estruc-tural, que requiere tratamiento de manejo físico pudiendo ser este abordado desde la reparación quirúrgica o con prótesis de paladar1, 2.La corrección de la IVF debe ser realizada por un equipo interdisciplinario3.
Método: se confeccionaron las correspondientes prótesis de paladar en cuatro pacientes adolescente/adultos seleccionados, sin posibilidades de reparación quirúrgica del esfínter velofaríngeo. Se realizó seguimiento, control y
terapia. Se analizaron los resultados obtenidos. Conclusiones: Los resultados positivos solo fueron observados claramente en los pacientes que realizaron su
tratamiento fonoaudiológico específico luego de la colocación de su prótesis de paladar obturadora con bulbo.Velopharyngeal dysfunction (DVF) is the result of an inadequate functioning of dynamic structures who work to control the velopharyngeal mechanism (soft
palate, lateral walls and posterior pharyngeal wall) that separates the nasal and oral cavities during speech. FVD, caused by lack of tissues, is called velopharyngeal insufficiency (IVF), and it is a factor that generates problems in speech due to a structural defect, which requires physical manage
ment treatment, which can be approached from surgical repair or with palatal prosthesis1,2. The correction of the IVF must be carried out by an interdisciplinary team3.
Method: the corresponding palate prostheses were made in four selected adolescent / adult patients, without the possibility of surgical repair of the velopharyngeal sphincter. Follow-up, control and therapy were carried out. The
results obtained were analyzed.
Conclusions: The positive results were only clearly observed in the patients who underwent their specific speech therapy treatment after the placement of their bulbous obturator palate prosthesis.Fil: Fernández Salto, María Laura .

Performance of the CMS Cathode Strip Chambers with Cosmic Rays
The Cathode Strip Chambers (CSCs) constitute the primary muon tracking device
in the CMS endcaps. Their performance has been evaluated using data taken
during a cosmic ray run in fall 2008. Measured noise levels are low, with the
number of noisy channels well below 1%. Coordinate resolution was measured for
all types of chambers, and fall in the range 47 microns to 243 microns. The
efficiencies for local charged track triggers, for hit and for segments
reconstruction were measured, and are above 99%. The timing resolution per
layer is approximately 5 ns
