Performance of missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV using the CMS detector
Abstract: The performance of algorithms for the reconstruction of missing transverse momentum for data from proton-proton collisions with a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected with the CMS detector at the LHC is presented. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. The results include detailed studies of the identification of events with anomalous missing transverse momentum and measurements of its scale and resolution. The performance of a missing transverse momentum reconstruction algorithm that mitigates the effects of multiple proton-proton interactions, using the Puppi method, is also presented. Lastly, the performance of an algorithm used to estimate the compatibility of the reconstructed missing transverse momentum with the null hypothesis is shown.

Summary
The performance of missing transverse momentum ({p_{\mathrm{T}}}miss) reconstruction algorithms is presented using events with and without intrinsic missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions recorded at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV, using a sample of data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$.

The performance of algorithms used to identify and remove events with anomalous missing transverse momentum have been also studied using events with one or more jets. The scale and resolution of the missing transverse momentum determination has been measured using events with an identified \mathrm{Z} boson or isolated photon. The measured scale and resolution in data are found to be in agreement with the expectations from the simulation. The performance of an advanced {p_{\mathrm{T}}}miss reconstruction algorithm, the {\text{Puppi}} {p_{\mathrm{T}}}miss, specifically developed to cope with a large number of pileup interactions has also been presented. This algorithm shows a significantly reduced dependence of the {p_{\mathrm{T}}}miss resolution on pileup interactions.

The studies presented in this note provide a solid foundation for all CMS measurements with {p_{\mathrm{T}}}miss in the final state, including standard model measurements of the Higgs boson, W boson and top quark and searches for new neutral weakly interacting particles beyond the standard model.
