Performance of the LHCb muon system with cosmic rays
The LHCb Muon system performance is presented using cosmic ray events
collected in 2009. These events allowed to test and optimize the detector
configuration before the LHC start. The space and time alignment and the
measurement of chamber efficiency, time resolution and cluster size are
described in detail. The results are in agreement with the expected detector
performance.Comment: Submitted to JINST and accepte
Performance of the LHCb muon system
The performance of the LHCb Muon system and its stability across the full
2010 data taking with LHC running at ps = 7 TeV energy is studied. The
optimization of the detector setting and the time calibration performed with
the first collisions delivered by LHC is described. Particle rates, measured
for the wide range of luminosities and beam operation conditions experienced
during the run, are compared with the values expected from simulation. The
space and time alignment of the detectors, chamber efficiency, time resolution
and cluster size are evaluated. The detector performance is found to be as
expected from specifications or better. Notably the overall efficiency is well
above the design requirementsComment: JINST_015P_1112 201
