Performance of CMS muon reconstruction in heavy ion collisions
Abstract: The performance of muon tracking, identification, triggering, momentum scale, and momentum resolution has been studied with the CMS detector at the LHC using data collected in proton-proton (pp) and lead-lead (PbPb) collisions at $ \sqrt {\smash [b]{s_{_{\mathrm {NN}}}}} = $ 5.02 TeV in 2017 and 2018 respectively, and in proton-lead (pPb) collisions at $ \sqrt {\smash [b]{s_{_{\mathrm {NN}}}}} = $ 8.16 TeV in 2016. Muon efficiencies, momentum scales, and momentum resolutions are presented and compared across the aforementioned collision systems, focusing on how the muon reconstruction performance varies from relatively small occupancy pp collisions, to pPb collisions, to the highest track multiplicity PbPb collisions. The muon-tracking, identification, and trigger efficiencies are above 90% throughout most of the studied multiplicity range. The momentum scale and resolution are unaffected by the occupancy. The excellent muon reconstruction of the CMS detector enables precision studies across all available collision systems.

Example fit to the data in PbPb collisions. The three panels show invariant mass distributions of the tag-and-probe pair in central 0-10% collisions fitted with signal and background components. Left panel: total spectrum. Middle panel: spectrum for pairs where probe passed the muon identification selection. Right panel: spectrum for muon pairs where probe failed the cut. The vertical scale of the failing probes is zoomed-in by a factor of 5 to enlarge the peak. The efficiency is obtained by dividing the number of pairs in the passing peak by number of pairs in the total peak. The efficiency is retrieved directly from the simultaneous fit and in this particular case is $ \epsilon = $ 0.968 $ \pm $ 0.002.

Summary
We have presented efficiencies of muon reconstruction, identification, and triggering, as well as measurements of the dimuon mass scale and resolution of the CMS detector. The efficiencies were estimated using the data-driven tag-and-probe technique discussed in Section 5. The fits to the invariant mass spectra were also used to derive the mass scale and resolution. We have extended previous studies of the muon performance in pp collisions to the heavy ion environment using PbPb data at $ \sqrt{\smash[b]{s_{_{\mathrm{NN}}}}}= $ 5.02 TeV and pPb data at $ \sqrt{\smash[b]{s_{_{\mathrm{NN}}}}}= $ 8.16 TeV. The efficiencies were also measured in pp data at $ \sqrt{s}= $ 5.02 TeV for comparison across all collision systems as a function of charged particle multiplicity. In all cases, the efficiencies are high (typically above 90%), even with extremely high occupancies. We observe a slight drop (1-2%) in the muon-identification efficiency at high $ p_{\mathrm{T}} $ in the most central PbPb events at multiplicities that are unattainable in pPb or pp events. In the low-$ p_{\mathrm{T}} $ region, the muon-identification efficiency is comparable between pp and PbPb collisions except in the region of highest occupancy at very low $ p_{\mathrm{T}} $ ($ < $ 5 GeV) and forward rapidity ($ |\eta| > $ 2). This drop in efficiency is expected because the high number of tracks in the inner parts of the detector complicates the matching of tracks between the muon chambers and the tracker. A slight decrease ($ {\approx}$3%) in reconstruction efficiency at high occupancies is also observed. Additionally, the trigger efficiency decreases in the most central PbPb events. A relative reduction of $ {\approx}8% $ in trigger efficiency occurs between the lowest and highest $ N_{\mathrm{tracks}} $ bins in PbPb. This reduction is more pronounced than the corresponding decrease in muon identification and reconstruction efficiencies, suggesting that the CMS single muon trigger is more sensitive to detector occupancy. In most cases, Monte Carlo calculations of the corresponding efficiencies capture the trends seen in data, indicating that the main features are contained in the detector simulation. In a few instances, the MC efficiencies overestimate those obtained from real data (by up to 4 percentage points), highlighting the need for independent data-driven techniques of efficiency estimation. The excellent muon performance of the CMS detector has allowed us to have a robust muon and dimuon program in the heavy ion environment, leading to many muon-based measurements, including heavy flavor [31,5,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40], electroweak bosons [41,25,42,43,44,45], and jets [46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63].
