Abstract

Data availability: Release and preservation of data used by the CMS Collaboration as the basis for publications is guided by the https://cms-docdb.cern.ch/cgi-bin/PublicDocDB/RetrieveFile?docid=6032&filename=CMSDataPolicyV1.2.pdf&version=2 CMS data preservation, re-use and open access policy.A version of the published article is available at arXiv:2403.16134v2 [hep-ex], https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.16134v2 . Comments: Replaced with the published version. Added the journal reference and the DOI.

Submission history: From: The CMS Collaboration: [v2] Fri, 11 Apr 2025 16:24:50 UTC (5,788 KB)Specialized data-taking and data-processing techniques were introduced by the CMS experiment in Run 1 of the CERN LHC to enhance the sensitivity of searches for new physics and the precision of standard model measurements. These techniques, termed data scouting and data parking, extend the data-taking capabilities of CMS beyond the original design specifications. The novel data-scouting strategy trades complete event information for higher event rates, while keeping the data bandwidth within limits. Data parking involves storing a large amount of raw detector data collected by algorithms with low trigger thresholds to be processed when sufficient computational power is available to handle such data. The research program of the CMS Collaboration is greatly expanded with these techniques. The implementation, performance, and physics results obtained with data scouting and data parking in CMS over the last decade are discussed in this Report, along with new developments aimed at further improving low-mass physics sensitivity over the next years of data taking.SCOAP3
