Muon Trajectory Reconstruction in the Cathode-Strip Chambers of the CMS Experiment

Cathode-strip chambers (CSCs) are the main detectors of the endcap muon system of the CMS experiment. The increase in the energy and luminosity of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) impacts the charged particles trajectory reconstruction procedure by increasing the rate and multiplicity of registered signals in the detectors. A series of improvements were added to the charged particle trajectory reconstruction procedure in CSCs. Hit-on-layer reconstruction was enhanced with a set of new methods. A new segment reconstruction algorithm was developed and implemented. The results of the improved reconstruction are given along with the comparison with the old approaches.
