SHINING A SPOTLIGHT ON AFRICAN RESEARCH

Impact of the GE1/1 upgrade on CMS muon system performance

Nuovo Cimento della Societa Italiana di Fisica C, Volume 39, No. 1, Article 260, Year 2016

During the future LHC upgrade planned in 2018, the forward endcap region of the CMS muon spectrometer will be upgraded with GEM chambers. GEM technology is able to withstand the radiation environment expected in the forward region. The GE1/1 station will be included in the muon L1 trigger, allowing to keep low pT threshold even at high luminosity. Moreover, it will bring detection redundancy in the most critical part of the CMS muon system, along with benefits to muon reconstruction performance.
