A set of 100K events with a single muon (both charges) was generated with
from 5 to 100 GeV/c
from 0 to 360 degrees
from -1.0 to 1.0
Multi-muon efficiencies for uncorrelated 2, 3 and 4 muons are extracted from similarly generated samples of 10K events each.
The low- range (< 5 GeV/c) has been excluded on purpose in our main
data sample, because there only 2 detector planes are hit in most of the cases.
To study this low- range, we separately generated a sample of 10K events.
The restriction to the barrel region was dictated by the non availability of
CSC trigger information to feed the Muon Track Finder (MTF). The simulation
study was performed using the CMS simulation package CMSIM
111 [2] based on GEANT. After digitization the necessary trigger
reconstruction information was extracted from the RPC simulation
routines [3] and from a preliminary version of the Muon Track
Finder (MTF) that was successfully included into CMSIM for the first time. The
calorimeters were switched on to act merely as a medium.
The Global Muon Trigger algorithm was set up to read its input from the FORTRAN common blocks where the results of the RPC and MTF simulation are stored. The output of the simulation was written to an HBOOK n-tuple, containing the output information of both RPC and DTBX, plus the combined result from the Global Muon Trigger algorithm.
