Introduction
 This November it is expected to start data taking at the
LHC experiments.

Multi-purpose physical program at these
experiments makes high demands of their detecting
systems.

The essential part of these physical tasks are the
processes with reconstruction of muons.

Studies with TeV muons at the CMS experiment
can lead to new physical phenomena discoveries and
also be a tool for testing of reconstruction algorithms
on their efficiency and a precision of measurements.

CSC Spatial Resolution on Muon Cosmic Data
First data (2008-2009 years) with cosmic muons gave a
possibility to verify and adapt specialized software to real data
handling (calibrations, algorithms etc.).
Special requirements for resolution
calculation:
1) 6 hits on a track segment;
2) cut on large angles of muons:
dx/dz < 0.15 dy/dz <1.5;
3) track-segment
c2 criteria.
ME1/1 single layer spatial resolution on cosmic muon data
ME1/1 single layer spatial resolution on cosmic
data (~110 microns) is agreed with the CMS
requirements (< 150 microns)
s = 107 mm
ME1/1 is the first of CSC chambers
in the endcap muon system
(full of Dubna JINR responsibility)
ME1/1 is located in the most strong magnetic field region
in comparison to all other ME stations
Thus, ME1/1 plays a key role in reconstruction
in the muon endcap system

Bremsstrahlung and e-m showering close to hard muons

Local pattern recognition:
1.
Drift Tubes in the Barrel
2.
CSCs in the Endcap: clusters of Digis *) fitted into
RecHits, i.e. position of hits in the detector layers.
3.
Track-segment building (track following & track road
methods) with the compatible RecHits in muon
chambers.
The track-segments are selected by a goodness of fit criteria
( c2 ).
*) “Digis” – digitized electronic signals

and DT track-segments
Recursive track fitting (from hit to
hit in endcap; with use segments in
barrel) by the least squares method
( Kalman filter propagation &
parameter estimation)
Global Muon Reconstruction
inclusion of tracker hits
starts from standalone
reconstructed muons,
propagated through
calorimeters to outer
tracker surface
regional track reconstruction
is performed using Tracker
hits within this (hj)-region;
to resolve the ambiguities, all
the reconstructed tracks are
then refitted including the
tracks in the muon chambers
TeV Muons:
In the Tracker hard muons
look like straight lines easy to reconstruct
but it is impossible to estimate Pt
for the straight lines.
It is necessary to include hits
from the Muon system
into the Global reconstruction.

SUMMARY
• Cosmic muon data handling
Precision of measurements in the muon system (especially in the ME1/1
station) plays a leading role in achieving of the required resolution on
transverse momentum and mass reconstruction for the processes with
hard muons.
ME1/1 single layer spatial resolution obtained on cosmic data (~110
microns) is agreed with the CMS requirements (< 150 microns)
• Di-muon events in TeV region
CMS physical program in particular includes the searching of new TeVmass resonances in dimuon channel and the testing of Standard Model
prediction for the Drell-Yan continuum up to TeV energy scale.
Studies of TeV muon processes on simulated data allow to achieve high
efficiency and obtain satisfied di-muon mass resolution in the TeV energy
region.
