Performance of missing transverse momentum reconstruction in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV using the CMS detector
JINST 14 (2019) P07004
Abstract: The performance of missing transverse momentum ($ \vec{p}_{\mathrm{T}}^{\text{miss}} $) reconstruction algorithms for the CMS experiment is presented, using proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected at the CERN LHC in 2016. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. The results include measurements of the scale and resolution of $ \vec{p}_{\mathrm{T}}^{\text{miss}} $, and detailed studies of events identified with anomalous $ \vec{p}_{\mathrm{T}}^{\text{miss}} $. The performance is presented of a $ \vec{p}_{\mathrm{T}}^{\text{miss}} $ reconstruction algorithm that mitigates the effects of multiple proton-proton interactions, using the "pileup per particle identification'' method. The performance is shown of an algorithm used to estimate the compatibility of the reconstructed $ \vec{p}_{\mathrm{T}}^{\text{miss}} $ with the hypothesis that it originates from resolution effects.

Summary
The performance of missing transverse momentum (${p_{\mathrm{T}}^{\text{miss}}}$) reconstruction algorithms in events with or without genuine ${p_{\mathrm{T}}^{\text{miss}}}$ is presented. The results are based on a sample of proton-proton collisions recorded by the CMS experiment at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV in 2016, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$.

The performance of algorithms used to identify and remove events with anomalous ${p_{\mathrm{T}}^{\text{miss}}}$ is also studied in events with one or more jets. The scale and resolution of ${p_{\mathrm{T}}^{\text{miss}}}$ is determined using events with an identified leptonically decaying Z boson or an isolated photon. The measured scale and resolution in data are in agreement with the expectations from simulation. Also presented is the performance of an advanced ${p_{\mathrm{T}}^{\text{miss}}}$ reconstruction algorithm, the "pileup per particle identification'' ${p_{\mathrm{T}}^{\text{miss}}}$, specifically developed to cope with the large pileup collisions expected at the high-luminosity LHC. This algorithm shows a significantly reduced dependence of the ${p_{\mathrm{T}}^{\text{miss}}}$ resolution on the number of pileup collisions ($> $10), particularly important for the upcoming LHC data-taking periods.
