Abstract
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has successfully delivered proton-proton collision
data at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV since the end of March 2010. The studies
presented in this note are based on a data sample of up to 11.7 nb−1 of integrated luminosity.
We discuss the performance of several different missing transverse energy
reconstruction algorithms employed by the CMS experiment using minimum-bias
data and data selected to contain high transverse momentum jets. We find that, after
the removal of anomalous signals in the calorimeters, the measured missing transverse
energy distributions using different algorithms are in general agreement with
expectations from the Monte Carlo simulation. An excellent performance of different
complementary algorithms will allow a robust physics analysis using missing transverse
energy
