Performance of missing transverse momentum reconstruction at the CMS detector in 13 TeV data

The precise measurement of the missing transverse momentum ($p^{miss}_{T}$) observable is critical forstandard model measurements involving W, Z, and the Higgs bosons, and top quarks. In addition, $p^{miss}_{T}$ is one of the most important kinematic observables used in searches for physics beyond t...

Sumario:The precise measurement of the missing transverse momentum ($p^{miss}_{T}$) observable is critical forstandard model measurements involving W, Z, and the Higgs bosons, and top quarks. In addition, $p^{miss}_{T}$ is one of the most important kinematic observables used in searches for physics beyond the standard model targeting new weakly interacting neutral particles. A detailed understanding of various effects due to the high collision rate at the CMS detector during the 13 TeV data-taking period of the LHC both in data and simulation is important to achieve the most optimal $p^{miss}_{T}$ performance. In this talk, we will present studies of $p^{miss}_{T}$ reconstruction algorithms using the CMS detector at the LHC.
