Performance of the CMS muon detector and muon reconstruction with proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV

abstract
The CMS muon detector system, muon reconstruction software, and high-level trigger underwent significant changes in 2013-2014 in preparation for running at higher LHC collision energy and instantaneous luminosity. The performance of the modified system is studied using proton-proton collision data at center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV, collected at the LHC in 2015 and 2016. The measured performance parameters, including spatial resolution, efficiency, and timing, are found to meet all design specifications and are well reproduced by simulation. Despite the more challenging running conditions, the modified muon system is found to perform as well as, and in many aspects better than, previously. We dedicate this paper to the memory of Prof. Alberto Benvenuti, whose work was fundamental for the CMS muon detector.

CMS observes η → μ⁺μ⁻e⁺e⁻ for the first time and measures its branching fraction as (2.4 ± 0.8) × 10^{-6}.
The measured cross-section ratio to a no-nuclear-effects baseline is 0.25, yielding a nuclear gluon suppression factor R_g^Pb of 0.55 at x ≈ 10^{-3} and μ² = 22.4 GeV².
CMS reports a simultaneous measurement of 25 N-subjettiness observables in 1-, 2-, and 3-prong jets, unfolded to stable particles with particle-level correlations for QCD modeling.
First evidence for ZZ gamma production at 3.7 sigma and observation of 4 lepton gamma at 5.0 sigma in CMS data at 13 TeV, with measured fiducial cross sections consistent with predictions.
First observation of electroweak photon plus two jets production yields a cross section of 202 fb consistent with the standard model prediction of 177 fb at greater than 5 sigma significance.
