Abstract: The performance of missing transverse momentum ( ®pmissT ) reconstruction algorithms for the CMS experiment is presented, using proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected at the CERN LHC in 2016. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb-1. The results include measurements of the scale and resolution of ®pmissT, and detailed studies of events identified with anomalous ®pmissT . The performance is presented of a ®pmissT reconstruction algorithm that mitigates the effects of multiple proton-proton interactions, using the ?pileup per particle identification? method. The performance is shown of an algorithm used to estimate the compatibility of the reconstructed ®pmissT with the hypothesis that it originates from resolution effects.
