Performance of missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV using the CMS detector
Abstract: The performance of algorithms for the reconstruction of missing transverse momentum for data from proton-proton collisions with a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected with the CMS detector at the LHC is presented. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. The results include detailed studies of the identification of events with anomalous missing transverse momentum and measurements of its scale and resolution. The performance of a missing transverse momentum reconstruction algorithm that mitigates the effects of multiple proton-proton interactions, using the Puppi method, is also presented. Lastly, the performance of an algorithm used to estimate the compatibility of the reconstructed missing transverse momentum with the null hypothesis is shown.
