+Publication strategy related to Russia/Ukraine war. Italian LR meeting last friday to discuss the options circulated previously. Option 1+6 chosen (remove institution from the acknowledgment and include a few sentence declaring science must be independent from politics). CB meeting in the afternoon. All the institutions presented their preferences, basically the same as the italian community. Council meeting on next friday to discuss possible stop of the CRN collaboration with Russia. SPs of the LHC experiments will write a letter to the council stressing the opinion off the scientific community and proposing some actions to help russian colleagues if this action will be done.

+L1 conveners defined: Run: Gianni Masetti Comp: James Robert Letts PPD: Jordan Martins TSG: Silvia Goy Lopez PC: decision today POG: decision today

+ PhD commission: Members: Dell’Anna Luca, Peloso Marco, Ramponi Roberta (Politecnico di MILANO) Substitutes: Azaele Sandro, Bartolo Nicola, Napolitani Enrico Experts: Caciolli Antonio, Stanco Luca Substitutes: Dorigo Tommaso, Recchia Francesco

Paolo C.: commission decided by a few members of the PhD board.

+Higgs celebration: Bookmark: Mia circulated a link to select the preferred event display. Additional possibility: short videos.

+CMS-Italia web page: all the members and the LR have to fill a short survey. We need to take a picture of the group.

+Worskhop: Higgs on May 11-12 morning, BPH in preparation.

+ We have ~6k euro debit with the store for the last 5 years. 2k euro allocated now, balance will be decided at the end of the year.

+Tommaso: Pathfinder 2022 call is open. Proposal about experimental optimisation with machine learning. Paper on archive tomorrow.

+Mia: -Dissemination initiative for "Hotel Schools": cake contest. -Video contest for university students about particle physics -Hepscape in Rome and Bologna during ICHEP.

Framework & production

+ Power cut this we. Issues for Cloud and Condor for Tier2 and UIs. We have to stop all the PC on friday morning. Virtual machines to be stopped. All the batch systems will be closed on friday. Email already sent bu Massimo to all the cloud users.

Analysis

B physics

+ Alberto: meeting with Sofia group a few days ago: angular efficiencies properly done. In Padova: bug found which affects data produced recently, a few days lost. In contact with MTD for PID studies. Promising preliminary results using PID (100% efficiency, no mistag at the moment). Tag calibration: mixed sample best method, waiting for other taggers to be ready before going on.

B_s->tautau

+Tommaso: some delay due to various reasons. Large MC sample produced by India group, studies ongoing to discriminate different subsamples.

Heavy composite neutrinos

+ Patrizia: PAS approved! CWR soon, before we have to look at the result after merging of the last bin, previously split. Not an easy task. Strategy will be defined in these days.

VBS

+ Patrizia: AN to be finalized, pre-approval to be defined. SMP conveners decided to have W inclusive published before Z which was included in another paper. This decision caused several issues to our timeline.

H/Z->JPsi gamma

+Rocco: analysis update and full review presented yesterday. All ready with fine tuning to be performed. Talk went well, some suggestions on additional checks. H/Z-> Y gamma group will be synchronised. Both groups will use nano AOD and almost same trigger paths and selection cuts. Some MC samples in common. Alberto: the PAS will include only our analysis, then the results of the other group will be added for the paper. Easy task, since no correlation is foreseen (different signals).
