W → eν and Z → ee, and an aligned tracking system. In 10 pb −1 , only 10 5 Wand 15000 Z decays are available, not sufficient for the calibration of the 75000crystals.The trigger system in the 2007 pilot run should present a nominal L1trigger, apart from the eta coverage and the reduced 12.5 kHz rate. ConcerningHLT, the absence of the Pixel system will probably limit its application forphysical studies. Moreover, since the priority is detector commissioning andunderstanding, the HLT table will be focused on calibration, allowing minimumbias events, high p T single electrons, muons and gammas, and jets with highE T . No official decision has been taken, but these “easy” objects should allow atimely commissioning of the various subdetectors, at the expenses of a physicsprogram which would be in any case difficult to fulfil. In principle, alreadyin 10 pb −1 more t¯t are produced than in any previous experiment, but theabsence of a Pixel system and thus of a reliable b-tagging does not allow anymeasurements 3) .4 ConclusionsDuring the first LHC Pilot run, scheduled in 2007, the CMS Collaboration willundergo the commissioning of the various CMS subdetectors,in order to reachdesign performance. The pilot run will probably not be sufficient for a properTracker alignment and ECAL calibration, which will be reached only duringthe 2008 physics run, with the final detector configuration including Pixelsand ECAL endcap. Physics will probably have to wait for 2008, when the fullperformance of the CMS detector should be available.References1.
