Muon reconstruction efficiency measurement in the ATLAS experiment

The measurement of the muon reconstruction efficiency in the ATLAS experiment based on the “tag and probe” method using decay muons from J/ψ and Z resonances is presented. The efficiency measurement is compared to its value as estimated from simulations in order to provide scaling factors to correct...

Description
Summary:The measurement of the muon reconstruction efficiency in the ATLAS experiment based on the “tag and probe” method using decay muons from J/ψ and Z resonances is presented. The efficiency measurement is compared to its value as estimated from simulations in order to provide scaling factors to correct the residual mis-modeling of the ATLAS muon identification performance.
