“…To remove background from cosmic-ray muons, the tracks must intersect a cylindrical volume of radius 4 cm and total length 70 cm, centered at the nominal interaction point and with its axis parallel to the beam line. Muon candidate tracks are required to have p T >3.3 GeV/ c , | η |≤1.3 and match a well-reconstructed segment in at least one muon detector [10]. Muons with opposite charges are paired.…”

“…During that period the CMS experiment recorded a sample of events produced in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of √ s = 7 TeV with an integrated luminosity of 40 pb −1 . Muon reconstruction in CMS has been previously studied in great detail using muons from cosmic rays [1,2]. The first studies using 60 nb −1 of 2010 proton-proton collision data were reported in ref.…”
