1. Muon rates from minimum bias (without PionDecayer)

2. Used sample 99000 minimum bias events (no forced decays) –misal1_csc11.005001.pythia_minbias.digit.RDO.v120031 03 Also used (slightly different reconstruction versions) by: –M. Dufour, “Overview of current menu” – Sep 24, 2007: 249100 events –T. Buanes, “Summary of cross section estimates…” – Oct 10, 2007: 1054000 events Study on AANT, information on MC Truth taken from the block Npar (e.g. PtGen->at(j) )

3. p T at truth level Muon source – Pions – Kaons – Charm – Beauty No  cuts applied p T (MeV)

4. p T at truth level Muon source – Pions – Kaons – Charm – Beauty |  |<2.4 p T (MeV)

9. Open questions Why is Trygve finding a total cross section of 54.71 mb instead of 79 mb (as by Marc Dufour)? Maybe different versions of PYTHIA? We are not able to download Trygve’s minbias RDO: to be understood…
