Particle-flow reconstruction and global event description with the CMS detector
JINST 12 (2017) P10003
Abstract: The CMS apparatus was identified, a few years before the start of the LHC operation at CERN, to feature properties well suited to particle-flow (PF) reconstruction: a highly-segmented tracker, a fine-grained electromagnetic calorimeter, a hermetic hadron calorimeter, a strong magnetic field, and an excellent muon spectrometer. A fully-fledged PF reconstruction algorithm tuned to the CMS detector was therefore developed and has been consistently used in physics analyses for the first time at a hadron collider. For each collision, the comprehensive list of final-state particles identified and reconstructed by the algorithm provides a global event description that leads to unprecedented CMS performance for jet and hadronic $\tau$ decay reconstruction, missing transverse momentum determination, and electron and muon identification. This approach also allows particles from pileup interactions to be identified and enables efficient pileup mitigation methods. The data collected by CMS at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV show excellent agreement with the simulation and confirm the superior PF performance at least up to an average of 20 pileup interactions.

Figure 2:
Event display of an illustrative jet made of five particles only in the $(x,y)$ view (upper panel), and in the ($\eta,\varphi $) view on the ECAL surface (lower left) and the HCAL surface (lower right). In the top view, these two surfaces are represented as circles centred around the interaction point. The $\mathrm {K}^0_\mathrm {L}$, the $\pi ^-$, and the two photons from the $\pi ^0$ decay are detected as four well-separated ECAL clusters denoted $\mathrm {E}_{1,2,3,4}$. The $\pi ^+$ does not create a cluster in the ECAL. The two charged pions are reconstructed as charged-particle tracks $\mathrm {T}_{1,2}$, appearing as vertical solid lines in the ($\eta,\varphi $) views and circular arcs in the $(x,y)$ view. These tracks point towards two HCAL clusters $\mathrm {H}_{1,2}$. In the bottom views, the ECAL and HCAL cells are represented as squares, with an inner area proportional to the logarithm of the cell energy. Cells with an energy larger than those of the neighbouring cells are shown in dark grey. In all three views, the cluster positions are represented by dots, the simulated particles by dashed lines, and the positions of their impacts on the calorimeter surfaces by various open markers.

Summary
The CMS detector was designed 20 years ago to identify energetic and isolated leptons and photons and measure their momenta with high precision, to provide a calorimetric determination of jets and missing transverse momentum, and to efficiently tag b quark jets. The CMS detector turned out to feature properties well-suited for particle-flow (PF) reconstruction. For the first time in a hadron collider experiment, a PF algorithm aimed at identifying and reconstructing all final-state particles was implemented.

The technical challenges posed by the complexity of proton-proton collisions and the amount of material in the tracker were overcome with the development of new, high-performance reconstruction algorithms in the different subdetectors, and of discriminating particle identification algorithms combining their information. The PF reconstruction computing time was kept under control both for offline data processing and for triggering the data acquisition, irrespective of the final state intricacy. The resulting global event description augmented the performance of all physics objects (efficiency, purity, response bias, energy and angular resolutions, etc.), thereby reducing the associated systematic biases and the need for a posteriori corrections. Knowledge of the detailed particle content of these physics objects enhanced the scope of many physics analyses.

Excellent agreement was obtained between the simulation and the data recorded by CMS at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, thereby validating the use of PF reconstruction in real data-taking conditions. The PF approach also paved the way for particle-level pileup mitigation methods, the simplest of which have been presented in this paper for an average of 20 and up to 35 concurrent pileup interactions. Machine learning algorithms based on the detailed PF information were shown to preserve the improved physics object performance even in the presence of a large number of background particles produced in pileup interactions.

The future CMS detector upgrades have been planned to provide optimal conditions for PF performance. In the first phase of the upgrade programme, a better and lighter pixel detector [64] will reduce the rate of misreconstructed charged-particle tracks, and the readout of multiple layers with low noise photodetectors in the hadron calorimeter [65] will improve the neutral-hadron identification, which currently limits the jet energy resolution. The second phase [66] will include a lighter and extended tracker (integrated into the level 1 trigger) and high-granularity endcap calorimeters, enhancing the PF capabilities for online and offline reconstruction. These detector evolutions, accompanied by the necessary PF software developments, should help to respond to the new challenges posed by the 200 pileup interactions foreseen at the LHC by the end of the next decade.
