Abstract

With the increases in the LHC instantaneous luminosity, maintaining effective triggering and avoiding dead time will become especially challenging. As the sensitivity of many physics studies, depends critically on the ability to maintain relatively low muon momentum thresholds, the identification of potential improvements in triggering is particularly important. The addition of a new muon detector to the existing CMS muon system in the very forward region allows for a substantial improvement in the performance of muon triggering. Integration of the new detector and the existing Cathode Strip Chamber system can improve the muon trigger momentum resolution due to an increase in the lever arm for the measurement of the muon bending angle.
