Description
The High-Luminosity LHC upgrade will require detector systems capable of operating in unprecedented particle rates and radiation environments. To meet these challenges and maintain efficient muon triggering and reconstruction, new Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) ME0 detectors will be installed in the forward region of the CMS experiment, complementing the already installed GE1/1 GEM detectors and extending the pseudorapidity coverage of the muon system to |η| < 2.8.
This talk will present the role of the broader GEM detector program in CMS, highlighting how improved redundancy, enhanced muon identification and better background rejection will significantly extend the physics reach of the CMS muon system. The performance of the installed GE1/1 station during Run 3 will be reviewed. In addition, the first results for the ME0 stations, including their detector design and operational performance, will be discussed.
