Results in brief
Muon reconstruction and trigger optimization towards early beyond the Standard Model discovery at the LHC with the CMS detector
The project consisted of three main topics centred around searching for new physics phenomena with the Compact muon solenoid (CMS) detector at the CERN LHC collider, using signatures with muons in the final state. These topics were: studies of very energetic muons, studies of muon-based triggers and studies of muon timing.

Project objective
The work proposed here has a three-fold scope: 1. Optimize muon reconstruction at CMS on a muon-by-muon basis such that the best possible resolution and efficiency is achieved across all momentum and rapidity ranges. 2. Investigate and implement non-standard use of the information from the muon detectors enabling a time-of-flight measurement. 3. Study the muon trigger requirements and trigger paths in the context of commissioning and integration for the LHC startup. The physics aim of the proposed work is to support and maximize the early discovery potential of CMS in viable beyond the Standard Model frameworks involving muons in the final state (from Supersymmerty to Extra Dimensions and new gauge bosons).
