Muons are of key importance to study some of the most interesting physics topics at the LHC. We show the status of the performance of the muon reconstruction in the analysis of proton-proton collisions at the LHC, recorded by the ATLAS detector in 2016. Reconstruction efficiency and momentum resolution have been measured using J/Ψ and Z decays for different classes of reconstructed muons.

Medipix and Timepix devices, installed in the ATLAS cavern at the LHC, have provided valuable complementary luminosity information. Results are presented from measurements with Timepix3 (TPX3) detectors. In contrast with previously employed frame-based data acquisition, the TPX3 detector remains active continuously, sending information on pixel hits as they occur. Hit- and cluster-counting methods were used for the luminosity determination of the LHC protonproton collisions. The LHC luminosity versus time is determined using these two methods and fitted to a simple model, which incorporates luminosity reduction from single bunch and beam-beam interactions. The precision of the luminosity determination could be improved by counting the number of clusters, instead of just pixel hits. The internal precision and long-term stability of the TPX3 luminosity measurement are below 0.5%. TPX3, owing to its 1.56 ns time-tagging, is able to resolve the time structure of the luminosity due to the collisions of individual proton bunches when integrated over an LHC fill.

The High Luminosity upgrade to the LHC, which aims for a tenfold increase in the luminosity of proton-proton collisions at an energy of 14 TeV, is expected to start operation in 2028/29 and will deliver an unprecedented volume of scientific data at the multi-exabyte scale. This amount of data has to be stored, and the corresponding storage system must ensure fast and reliable data delivery for processing by scientific groups distributed all over the world. The present LHC computing and data management model will not be able to provide the required infrastructure growth, even taking into account the expected hardware technology evolution. To address this challenge, the Data Carousel R&D project was launched by the ATLAS experiment in the fall of 2018. State-of-the-art data and workflow management technologies are under active development, and their current status is presented here.
