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 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.
