IntroductionIntroductionIntroductionIntroduction
Dominant contributions to Low pT muon trigger rates decays in flight of light mesons ±, K±, KL
leptonic decay modes of Charmed hadrons leptonic decay modes of Bottom hadrons punch-trough of hadronic shower particles:
shower muons hadrons
The study of the muon trigger performance over these physics events requires very large samples of minimum bias events special samples enhancing the signal to be studied

Samples with forced decays The purpose is study rejection cuts for fake muon on high statistics samples -
how much suitable for cross section ( rate evaluation ) ? Minimum bias with PionDecayer

Abort the simulation of events without a charged pion or kaon with pT>2GeV/c (low pT cut in order to study feed-through of muons below threshold in the
trigger acceptance) cross section of the sample is 34.55 % of standard MB
Select randomly one or K above threshold; flag it with GenStat=9999 define the proper time td (center of mass frame) of the decay in order to force
the decay vertex in a cylinder of R = 1115 mm and L = 3500mm (ID volume)
events with muons from forced decay have to be re-weighted for the probability of the parent or K to decay before showering
w = Mean Path before hadr. int. x M/k / (pc
flagged p/k can have hadr. int. before td + decay channel is free not necessarily there will be a muon in each event
the rest of the event is not biased other light mesons can freely decay into muons – weight = 1 for them

Muon Trigger Group have been presented at the Mini Workshop on trigger menus; 24-25 Sep 2007 – G. Siragusa http://indico.cern.ch/getFile.py/access?contribId=11&sessionId=1&resId=0&materialId=slides&confId=20373
How are rates computed (mu6, as an example): obtain from single muons of pT in the range 2 – 100 GeV/c
efficiency of LVL1 mu6 vs pT
efficiency of LVL2 (muComb) w.r.t. LVL1 accepted events effciency of EF (MuidCombined) w.r.t. LVL2 accepted events
effective thresholds applied at LVL2 and EF in order to keep 90 % eff. at the nominal threshold
convolve efficiencies with cross sections d/dpT for the most important processes
rate of mu6 at EF for Luminosity = 1031 cm-2 s-1 ~50 Hz M.A.Dufour running a trigger menu for 1031 cm-2 s-1 on Minimum Bias
sample reports a rate of mu6 at EF = 206 Hz

• Muon Rates studies in the HLT community are under way for the finalization of the ATLAS detector paper and will be presented at the TP week – tomorrow muon slice meeting to discuss/understand/finalize
procedures and numbers
• Meanwhile here we present a quick and preliminary look at EF rates for mu6 in comparison with M.A. Dufour at the mini-workshop on trigger menus
• running muon trigger slice in 13.0.30.2 over MB (160K events) output in AANT
• looking at trigger decision in AOD produced with 12.0.6 for MB (20k events) and J0-J8 samples

– J0-J8 120 ± 30 Hz – M.A. Dufour for MU4 showed that J0-J8 / MB = 0.57– assuming this scaling factor is conserved at MU6 (conservative) total MB rate ~ 208 Hz in agreement with M.A.Dufour
• MB AANT MU6 @ EF 160 ± 30 Hz (32 accepted ev.s / 160k)– composition: 1 , 2 k, 18 c, 7 b, 4 feed-through (or not
understood)
ConclusionsConclusionsConclusionsConclusions
• Current cross sections for light mesons decaying into muons seems in reasonable agreement with old estimates – care must be used with samples with forced decays
• larger rates observed with std approach (trigger decision, event counting) w.r.t. to OLD procedure for muon rate estimate
• probably low cross sections for muons from charm and bottom have been assumed until now
• more news and details for the TP week
