Abstract

The performance of missing transverse momentum (pTmiss{\vec p}_{\mathrm{T}}^\mathrm{miss}) reconstruction algorithms for the CMS experiment is presented, using proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected at the CERN LHC in 2016. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb1^{-1}. The results include measurements of the scale and resolution of pTmiss{\vec p}_{\mathrm{T}}^\mathrm{miss}, and detailed studies of events identified with anomalous pTmiss{\vec p}_{\mathrm{T}}^\mathrm{miss}. The performance is presented of a pTmiss{\vec p}_{\mathrm{T}}^\mathrm{miss} reconstruction algorithm that mitigates the effects of multiple proton-proton interactions, using the "pileup per particle identification" method. The performance is shown of an algorithm used to estimate the compatibility of the reconstructed pTmiss{\vec p}_{\mathrm{T}}^\mathrm{miss} with the hypothesis that it originates from resolution effects.
