Description
The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is undertaking a Phase II upgrade program to face the harsh conditions imposed by the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). This program comprises the installation of a new timing layer to measure the time of minimum ionizing particles (MIPs) with a time resolution of 30-40 ps. The time information of the tracks from this new MIP Timing Detector (MTD) will improve the rejection of spurious tracks and vertices, will enable particle identification based on the time-of-flight, and will bring unique physics opportunities for interesting signatures such as those including long-lived particles. These capabilities require a full software infrastructure to simulate the MTD and its digitization process, to locally reconstruct the time information associated with tracks, to propagate the timing information to the beam line, and to contribute to the vertex building. The detailed characteristics of this infrastructure and its integration into the CMS offline software chain are discussed.
