Plan for early data taking • day 1: corrections from MC, including lessons from cosmics runs and testbeams • data<1 fb-1: use of high cross-section data driven methods. Tune MC • longer term: run full list of corrections described so far Integrated Minimum luminosity time Systematic uncertaintiy 10 pb-1 >1 month ~10% 100 pb-1 >6 months ~7% 1 fb-1 >1 year ~5% 10 fb-1 >3 years ~3% 04/05/09 numbers do not take into account 1) low p. T: low resolution, larger backgrounds larger uncertainties 2) large p. T: control samples have low cross section larger stat. needed Daniele del Re (La Sapienza & INFN) 59
