A muon identification and combined reconstruction procedure for the ATLAS detector at the LHC using the (MUONBOY, STACO, MuTag) reconstruction packages

A robust muon identification and high momentum measurement accuracy is crucial to fully exploit the physics potential that will be accessible with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC at CERN. In this paper an overview of the muon reconstruction software is given and performance results from detailed Geant4-based simulations are presented. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
