Abstract:

The fibres used for the readout of the upgraded LHC detectors for the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) will be exposed to very high radiation doses of up to ∼ 500 kGy(Si). From DC measurements of the radiation induced absorption, several singlemode (SM) and multimode (MM) fibres have been qualified. The effect of radiation damage on fibres is also expected to have an adverse impact on the fibre bandwidth. This paper explains the theoretical reasons for this and presents results of extensive tests to determine the significance of this effect for one of the previously qualified radiation-hard multi-mode fibres. © 2012 IOP Publishing Ltd and Sissa Medialab srl.

Abstract:

The performance of muon reconstruction, identification, and triggering in CMS has been studied using 40pb-1 of data collected in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV at the LHC in 2010. A few benchmark sets of selection criteria covering a wide range of physics analysis needs have been examined. For all considered selections, the efficiency to reconstruct and identify a muon with a transverse momentum pT larger than a few GeV/c is above 95% over the whole region of pseudorapidity covered by the CMS muon system, |η| < 2.4, while the probability to misidentify a hadron as a muon is well below 1%. The efficiency to trigger on single muons with pT above a few GeV/c is higher than 90% over the full η range, and typically substantially better. The overall momentum scale is measured to a precision of 0.2% with muons from Z decays. The transverse momentum resolution varies from 1% to 6% depending on pseudorapidity for muons with pT below 100GeV/c and, using cosmic rays, it is shown to be better than 10% in the central region up to pT = 1 TeV/c. Observed distributions of all quantities are well reproduced by the Monte Carlo simulation.
