Signatures of Standard Model Dimuon Sources in the CMS Detector

ORAL

Abstract

The response of the CMS detector for standard model sources of pairs of oppositely charged muons is studied using a detailed simulation based on GEANT4. The response is affected by the real-time trigger, geometrical acceptance, reconstruction efficiency, and resolution on invariant mass. The simulated response is compared to the measured distribution of invariant mass using a data sample corresponding to 5 fb-1 of p-p collisions at $\surd $s= 7 TeV.
