Muon identification for LHCb Run 3

Muon identification is of paramount importance for the physics programme of LHCb. In the upgrade phase, starting from Run 3 of the LHC, the trigger of the experiment will be solely based on software. The luminosity increase to 2×1033 cm−2s−1 will require an improvement of the muon identification cri...

Description
Summary:Muon identification is of paramount importance for the physics programme of LHCb. In the upgrade phase, starting from Run 3 of the LHC, the trigger of the experiment will be solely based on software. The luminosity increase to 2×1033 cm−2s−1 will require an improvement of the muon identification criteria, aiming at performances equal or better than those of Run 2, but in a much more challenging environment. In this paper, two new muon identification algorithms developed in view of the \lhcb upgrade are presented, and their performance in terms of signal efficiency versus background reduction is shown.
