18 Summary We can observe nice reconstruction performance measurements using lepton and photon objects in both experiments during Run-II data taken, even with the increase of instantaneous luminosity and Pile-up events Both CMS and ATLAS Experiments are using different technologies to detect these physics objects. However, they have presented good results concerning identification, resolution and triggered to make extensive coverage in the transverse momentum, pseudorapidity and invariant mass regions. Therefore, this enables to explore all physics program proposed for both experiments for Run-II and beyond. 18 Thank you for your attention

24 Muon Reconstruction Overview on CMS 24

25 Muon Reconstruction ID WP Loose muon identification (ID) aims to identify prompt muons (originating at the first primary vertex) and muons from light and heavy flavor decay, as well as maintain a low rate of the misidentification of charged hadrons as muons Medium muon ID is optimized for prompt muons and for muons from heavy flavor decay. A medium muon is a loose muon with a tracker track that uses hits from more than 80% of the the inner tracker layers it traverses. Tight muon ID aims to suppress muons from decay in flight and from hadronic punch-through. A tight muon is a loose muon with a tracker track that uses hits from at least six layers of the inner tracker including at least one pixel hit. The muon must be reconstructed as both a tracker muon and a global muon Soft muon ID is optimized for low-p T muons for B-physics and quarkonia analyses. A soft muon is a tracker muon with a tracker track that satisfies a high purity flag and uses hits from at least six layers of the inner tracker including at least one pixel hit High momentum muon ID is optimized for muons with p T > 200 GeV. A high momentum muon is reconstructed as both a tracker muon and a global muon 25

The dips in efficiency close to eta = 0.3 are due to the cracks between the central muon wheel and the two neighboring wheels pt>20gev Z μμ (two global muons) Muon reconstruction efficiencies for the Medium identification algorithms measured in Z μμ events as a function of the muon pseudorapidity for muons with pt>10gev 2018 Data 2015 data = about 2/fb of p+p collisions collected in
