Subject: EM-scale/resolution CALGO Task Force

Dear Calgoer,

we are pleased to announce a new CALGO task force devoted
to the EM-energy scale/resolution.

Ron Madaras (co-chair)
Jan Stark (co-chair)
Yannick Arnoud,
Anne-Marie Magnan,
Alan Margerkurth
Aurelien Mendes,
Smain Kermiche

+ the ex-officio members,  Robert, Ursula, Gregorio and Harald/Bob who
                           chair the other electron task force.

Please note that the actual e-id certification remains under the
responsibility of Harald and Jan, but the goal is to propagate what will
be learned in the CTFs to the certification, hopefully before the
next calorimeter worskhop (the week before the february collab. meeting).

Charge of the em-scale/resolution task force:
---------------------------------------------
short term:

1) Study resolution effects for p14 with T42 (i.e. beyond T42
   certification) using benchmark data samples.

medium term

2) Improve the scale/linearity determination using all ee-resonances,
   and the the E/p tools.

3) Provide the smearing/recalibration factors needed for the simulation,
   if needed, as determined by a definite prescription.

4) In conjunction with the simulation groups, improve
   the data/mc comparison.


Thanks to help the task force with your contributions, or even officially
join, and thanks to all the members who have already accepted to serve.

The meetings of this task force will be available through  the CALGO
page of the agenda server.


         Cheers,   Ursula and Gregorio
