Description

The MAIA concept is a detector designed for a future Muon Collider operating at √s=10 TeV. The unique challenges of particle detection and reconstruction at a Muon Collider include mitigation of the beam-induced-background (BIB), requiring dedicated hardware and software solutions. Designing optimal detection and reconstruction software necessitates a detailed study of the effect of the BIB on various components of the detector, including the ECAL (electromagnetic calorimeter). A well-calibrated and well-resolved ECAL is especially crucial to reconstructing both electrons and photons, in addition to a broad range of final states with significant electromagnetic activity. This poster will detail the ability of the current MAIA detector software to reconstruct simulated photons, with a focus on efficiency and energy resolution. We will present results for simulated samples both with and without simulated BIB overlaid.
