Performance of missing transverse momentum reconstruction in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV using the CMS detector

Abstract

The performance of missing transverse momentum (${\vec{p}}_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{miss}}$) reconstruction algorithms for the CMS experiment is presented, using proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected at the CERN LHC in 2016. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb${}^{-1}$. The results include measurements of the scale and resolution of ${\vec{p}}_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{miss}}$, and detailed studies of events identified with anomalous ${\vec{p}}_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{miss}}$. The performance is presented of a ${\vec{p}}_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{miss}}$ reconstruction algorithm that mitigates the effects of multiple proton-proton interactions, using the "pileup per particle identification" method. The performance is shown of an algorithm used to estimate the compatibility of the reconstructed ${\vec{p}}_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{miss}}$ with the hypothesis that it originates from resolution effects.
