Muon Momentum Scale and Resolution Corrections for CMS — •Dorian Guthmann¹, Jost von den Driesch¹, Markus Klute¹, and Filippo Errico² — ¹Karlsruhe Institute of Technology — ²Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare Roma

In the context of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Experiment at the LHC, a precise measurement of muon momenta plays a crucial role. Muons hold significant importance in various particle physics analyses. However, deviations between recorded data and simulation arise due to detector effects. To address this challenge, scale and resolution corrections are applied to the transverse momentum of muons. These corrections aim to mitigate biases, aligning the theoretical description of muons with their experimental counterpart. This presentation will provide an overview of the current standard method in CMS and outline possible improvements to the procedure for run 3.
