Mission statement
The Muon ID group is  is one of several groups charged with identifying  particle objects for Run II physics. This group's purpose is to provide tools for muon identification, combining information from all the relevant detector subsystems: the muon spectrometer, the silicon detector, the scintillating fiber tracker, and the calorimeter. The Muon Algorithm group is charged with providing software tools for describing all of the various parts of the muon system as a stand-alone entity. This includes muon hits, segments and tracks. We are responsible for the muon reconstruction, handling and implementation of muon geometry, calibration and alignment in the reconstruction

Muon Id Certified Objects

p17-p18 certification

  • The p17 fixed data processed through p18 d0correct is certified. P17 thumbnail content is described in D0Note 4735 .
  • The definitions of muonid type and quality is the same as in p14. See there for more details on qualities and type.
  • In addition we define three types of track quality matched to the muon (loose_track, medium_track, tight_track). Details are also given here.
  • It is highly recommended to use CAF to analyze the data
  • MC muon momentum smearing parameters have also been determined.
  • The certification is described in D0note 5157.

Efficiencies for certified objects

  • Efficiencies are computed for both DATA and MC, using the packages wzreco and muo_cert .
    • MuonId efficiencies
    • Tracking efficiencies
    • Isolation efficiencies
    • Muon trigger efficiencies (muon at L1, L2 and L3; tracks at L1 and L3)

p17 certified muons within CAF

  • The Description of the muon classes is here.
  • Efficiencies are computed for both DATA and MC, using the packages wzreco and muo_cert .
  • They are stored in the eff_utils format running the muid_eff package. The latest version to be used is described here.
  • Users can retrieve this information to correct the MC acceptance, using the caf_eff_utils package.
  • The muid_eff package also contains trigger objects efficiencies computed by muo_cert. The trigger object efficiencie are combined to give a trigger efficiencies using the caf_trigger package.
  • As of p18.08, a momentum smearing is applied while producing CAFTrees. The momentum resolution is different before and after summer 04 shutdown and the default in CAFTrees is the pre-shutdown smearing. So the user will have to (re)apply some momentum smearing using the ApplyMuonSmear processor to simulate post-summer 04 data in the right way.

Good Run List






Tom Diehl is regularly evaluating the quality of global runs, assessing whether they have muon detector and muon trigger operating conditions suitable for data analysis. The procedure is documented in DØ Note 3939 The list is updated regularly at this adress.
The list can be accessed via the Run Quality Database or via SAM .
Additionnaly this little Python script can build a bad (or good) run list

I (BT) am not sure of the following information for p17 data (and p17 skimmed data):

    In the query use the dimensions RUN_QUALITY and RUN_QUAL_GROUP. For example: (RUN_QUALITY REASONABLE and RUN_QUAL_GROUP MUO) and DATA_TIER root-tuple will give you the root-tuple of all runs graded REASONABLE for the muon system (queries are case-sensitive).
