<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <references> <reference> <t1>Study of correlation between baseline current and Hit Rate in GE1/1 chambers at the CMS Experiment</t1> <t2/> <sn/> <op/> <vo/> <ab>The phase-II upgrade of the CMS Muon System includes the addition of three new Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) stations --- GE1/1, GE2/1, and ME0 --- to extend the detector's acceptance up to a pseudorapidity of $\lvert \eta \rvert \sim 2.8$. Achieving this requires that the detectors must tolerate the high levels of background radiation expected in the forward endcap regions for the High-Luminosity LHC, with a high rate capability as part of their requirements. The first station, GE1/1, was installed during the Long Shutdown 2 and has been in operation at CMS since Run 3 began in 2022. This study focuses on GE1/1's performance, particularly how the high-radiation environment impacts the High Voltage (HV) system and in turn how this can affect the detector gain stability. This work measures the currents in the HV system of the GE1/1 detectors and correlates them with particle hit-rates observed in the chambers, analyzing these results as a function of the LHC beam luminosity. The findings contribute to assessing GE1/1's rate capability and provide valuable insights for the development and operational planning of the forthcoming GE2/1 and ME0 stations in terms of expected currents at high background hit-rate scenarios.</ab> <la>eng</la> <k1>Muons; </k1> <pb/> <pp/> <yr>2024</yr> <ed/> <ul>http://cds.cern.ch/record/2916757/files/DP2024_117.pdf; </ul> <no>Imported from Invenio.</no> </reference> </references>
