Performance of the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter in Run II and its role in the measurement of the Higgs boson properties
The characterisation of the Higgs boson discovered in 2012 around 125 GeV, and confirmed with the data collected in Run II, requires the precise determination of its mass, width and couplings. The electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) of the Compact Muon Solenoid Experiment (CMS) is crucial for measurements in the highest resolution channels, and leptons. In particular the energy resolution, the scale uncertainty and the position resolution for electrons and photons are required to be as good as possible. During Run II the LHC is continuously operating with 25 ns bunch spacing and increasing instantaneous luminosity. The calorimeter reconstruction algorithm has been adapted to cope with increasing levels of pile-up and the calibration and monitoring strategy have been optimized to maintain the excellent performance of the CMS ECAL throughout Run II. We show first performance results from the Run II data taking periods, achieved through energy calibrations using physics events, with a special emphasis on the impact on the measurement of the properties of the Higgs boson and on searches for new physics

Table S1 describes the rates of remaining on drug, switching, and discontinuing without starting a new biologic in the TCZ and ABA groups before and after match. Table S2 presents the distribution of prednisone dose increases and decreases between the matched TCA and ABA initiators based on the baseline prednisone usage. Table S3 presents rates of discontinuation and initiation of cDMARDs over the 6-month follow-up. (DOCX 14 kb
