The Upgrade of Endcap CMS Muon System

摘要

The configuration and composition of the CMS muon system are presented. The paper is focused on cathode strip chambers (CSC) used as the endcap muon system detectors. The goals and objectives of the endcap muon system upgrade are formulated. The main results of works accomplished for the ME1/1 CSCs upgrade and the new ME4/2 muon station construction during the LHC Long Shutdown-1 (2013-2014) are presented. The improved performances of the endcap muon system are shown using experimental data obtained after the upgrade (Run2 data).
