ATLAS muon trigger performance

Events containing muons in the final state are an important signature for many analyses being carried out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), including both standard model measurements and searches for new physics. To be able to study such events, it is required to have an efficient and well-understood muon trigger. The ATLAS muon trigger consists of a hardware based system, as well as a software based reconstruction. Due to the high luminosity in Run-2, several improvements have been implemented to keep the trigger rate low, while still maintaining a high efficiency. Some examples of recent improvements include requiring coincidence of hits in the muon spectrometer and the calorimeter and optimised muon isolation. An overview of the muon trigger, the recent improvements, and the performance in Run-2 data are presented. The improvements planned for Run-3 are also discussed.
