Importance of Muon Detectors and Alignment Searches for Z rely on high mass dilepton resonances. Here a hypothetical Z decays into 2 muons. The muon detectors are further from the IP, allowing for greater precision in determining the momentum of high momentum muons and sign determination Both Ideal Both Misaligned Misaligned Muon System Misaligned Tracker 4
Track Based Alignment The tracker tells us about the muons kinematics Simulate where the muons should be heading based on interaction tion with magnetic field and materials propagate the muon Compare actual hit location with expected hit location residual Need to average over many muon s residuals due to multiple scattering 5
Weak Modes Some shifts can be hard to detect with track based alignment A shift along local z and y away or towards the interaction point is hard to distinguish 6

Future improvements Potentially align all 6 Degrees of Freedom Layer based Alignment of detectors Finding and eliminating known and unknown systematic errors
Goals for Run 2 100 micron accuracy with track based alignment reduction of systematic uncertainties using track based alignment to align layers for run 2 We are looking forward to new exotica searches soon 14
Software upgrades A big change for us was the change from combinatorial pattern recognition to Mean-Timer Mean-Timer gives better spacial and time measurement resolution-better for physics, but a bit messy for alignment without our chi^2 cut
Multiple Scattering Multiple scattering of the muon (and uncertainties in muon kinematics? other factors?) mean that the muons don t travel in straight lines need to average over many muons to find center 17

Alignment Algorithm Propagate muons to detector Select high quality muon tracks in tracker Calculate residuals visual here and align detector 21
Alignment algorithm 1. Select high quality muon tracks (based on tracking information e.g. number of hits, chisquared of fit, etc.) 1. muons should have a transvers momentum greater than 30 GeV to reduce multiple scattering 2. muons should have a transfers momentum less than 200 Gev to avoid muon showering 2. Fit the muon tracks with tracker information 3. Equalize positively and negatively charged muons to avoid bias from magnetic field positive and negative muons pull alignment in opposite directions 4. Propagate muon tracks from tracker to muon detector 5. Calculate muon residuals from hit locations and propagated tracks 6. Align chambers one by one with residuals cutting muons with very large residuals 7. Save alignment results to an SQL database for easy reference

Design of the CMS Muon System CMS detector: Total weight : 12,500 ton Overall diameter : 15 m Overall length : 21.6 m Magnetic field : 4 Tesla CMS use three types of gaseous particle detectors for muon identification: 250 Drift Tubes (DT) Chambers Each DT chamber, on average 2m x 2.5m in size, consists of 12 aluminium layers, arranged in three groups of four, each up with up to 60 tubes: the middle group measures the coordinate along the direction parallel to the beam and the two outside groups measure the perpendicular coordinate 540 Cathode Strip Chambers (CSC) Each CSC module contains six layers making it able to accurately identify muons and match their tracks to those in the tracker.
