Adding and Eta Restriction(just the barrel)
It is well known that the Higgs to gamma gamma analysis was more sensitive in the barrel region than in the endcap region. Another possibility to control the rate is to ignore all the photons in the endcap and to keep the good photons in the barrel instead.
Isolation: Pixel Veto (Pixel Detector), Solid Cone(Tracker)
Requiring isolation at trigger level will reduce the rate. This isolation could be done by:
1. Implementing a Pixel Veto (following the Z-control path).
2. Changing the Tracker isolation for a full solid cone

Signal Efficiency
The preliminary hltintegration test for /users/carrillo/hgg_740/V14 with a 60GeV signal sample, gave as result:

And this is the efficiency as a function of higgs-gen-eta, there is not normalization for this efficiency is just the amount of events passing the Trigger selection ussing a 60GeV sample.

Jobs have been submited but it is taking forever with CRAB...

And these are the rate results.

After investigating the high rates, the conclusion was that by default the new release CMSSW_7_4_0 does not include by defautl the adequate Global Tag for these samples. The study has to be repeated.
The Global tag has to be still tweaked by hand, and the auto-version is not the most suitable one for the rate estimation following these instructions

Results 3: tighter sieie and new mass cuts
A new update for the rediscovery paths has been done, the sieie cuts were changed from: EB(EE)=0.024(0.040) to EB(EE)=0.015(0.035), the implementation of the new version of the paths are, here /users/carrillo/hgg_740/V29
- apply the new sieie 0.015/0.035
- check the effect of cutting the mass at >55,60
The integration test was successfull and can be found under /afs/cern.ch/user/c/carrillo/public/for_steam/users_carrillo_hgg_740_V29/:

Results 4: Last Synchronization with rediscovery path /users/carrillo/hgg_741HLT1/V15
- Release: CMSSW_7_4_1
- GlobalTag: MCRUN2_72_V3A
- ConfDB: /users/carrillo/hgg_741HLT1/V15 (with manueal tweak)
- New values for isolation and HoE in this version of the rediscovery paths
- AND+SinglePV path has been dropped
- All paths migrated to the pt-rediscovery cuts, the minimum pt-cuts before bummping in L1
- New Mass cuts have been explored for all the strategies
The integration test was NOT successfull,
Illegal parameter found in configuration. The parameter is named: 'l1CenJetsTag'
This input was commented by hand in the config file after the failed attempt of the integration test. Onces this is done cmsRun works.
Efficiency
The signal efficiency for the 55 mass cuts can be seen here for 60GeV+80GeV+125GeV and here for 60GeV
Two low-mass strategies have been studied:
lowmass = low-mass paths (in yellow) EB OR AND-PV OR AND-Solid
lowmass2 = EB OR AND-PV
cross-bit efficiency for 60GeV signal sample

TOTAL rates

Conclusions:
- The efficiency for the low mass region is lower after the changes.
- The rates have been cut by a factor 3 with these new changes.
- The rate seems to be the same for lowmass and lowmass2.
