Discovering True Muoniums on CMS

Abstract

The primary focus is on meticulous data analysis of data retrieved from the CMS detector server. A series of cut flows are implemented to eliminate impurity data and refine the dataset. The culmination of these procedures results in a graph emphasizing the balance variable ’B,’ revealing a remarkable symmetry concerning the y-axis. Complementing the data analysis is the creation of a Toy Monte Carlo simulation. This innovative method aims to replicate the experimental signal. Considering uncertainties in experimental data, the kinetic energy in the dimuon rest frame is systematically smeared. Additionally, the momenta of outgoing particles are subjected to variation, adhering to a normal distribution—a process termed the “experimental effect.” The simulated balance spectrum is then meticulously compared with the experimental counterpart. This comparative analysis serves as the litmus test for the presence of True Muonium signals. The outcome of this project bears implications for the understanding of True Muoniums and contributes to the broader discourse in particle physics. The combination of advanced data analysis and simulation techniques enhances our ability to discern the subtleties of particle interactions, offering valuable insights into the fundamental nature of the universe.
