Abstract
In our search for the doubly charged Higgs boson and dark photon, which are predicted extensions to the Standard Model, we have to analyze trillions of events both generated by ourselves and observed events from the Large Hadron Collider. Processing such events locally takes incredibly long, and would leave us with no time to work with the data we get. So, we use the CMS Remote Analysis Builder (CRAB) system to send jobs across the world for parallel processing. In using the CRAB system, we have come up with many improvements this past year, such as organizing actual data and Monte Carlo generated data, changing the number of histograms produced, and further differentiating the dark photon analysis and doubly charged Higgs boson analysis. We have also begun working on using the CRAB system for limit setting purposes which will significantly improve our efficiency. We will continue to explore avenues to improve both our main processing and limit processing in the future using CRAB to improve the efficiency of our data analysis to get to results quickly
