Measurement and simulation of the background in the CMS muon detectors

Measurement and simulation of the background in the CMS muon detectors

The study of the different backgrounds which the muon detectors of the CMS experiment are exposed to, is fundamental to assess the system longevity and project its performance to the conditions expected for HL-LHC. In this respect, an accurate modelling of the backgrounds in simulation is of prime i...
