Abstract

The CMS Muon System is based on three types of gaseous detectors, Resistive Plate Chambers, Cathode Strip Chambers and Drift Tubes.While operating very well in the present conditions, upgrades are foreseen for each of the subsystems, necessary to cope with the increased Pile-Up, coming along with higher rates and radiation, during the upcoming periods of data taking.Moreover, an important issue will be to make the system able to perform its delicate task of muon triggering and tracking also in the High Luminosity phase of LHC, foreseen to start after Long Shutdown 3 in 2023 and to last for about 10 years.Studies devoted to asses the system performance stability for the future will be presented. In addition, the strategy - which is being developed - to complement the existing system with new detectors, based on Gas Electron Multipliers or improved RPC technologies, will be shown.
