abstract
This paper presents the muon momentum calibration and performance studies for the ATLAS detector based on the $pp$ collisions data sample produced at $\sqrt{s}$=13 TeV at the LHC during Run 2 and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb$^{-1}$. An innovative approach is used to correct for potential charge-dependent momentum biases related to the knowledge of the detector geometry, using the $Z \rightarrow \mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ resonance. The muon momentum scale and resolution are measured using samples of $J/\psi \rightarrow \mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ and $Z \rightarrow \mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ events. A calibration procedure is defined and applied to simulated data to match the performance measured in real data. The calibration is validated using an independent sample of $\Upsilon \rightarrow \mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ events. At the $Z$ ($J/\psi$) peak, the momentum scale is measured with an uncertainty at the 0.05% (0.1%) level, and the resolution is measured with an uncertainty at the 1.5% (2%) level. The charge-dependent bias is removed with a dedicated {\em in situ} correction for momenta up to 450 GeV with a precision better than 0.03 TeV$^{-1}$.

Simultaneous measurements of b-jet tagging and c-jet mistagging efficiency scale factors for the ATLAS GN2 tagger achieve precisions below 2% and 5% respectively using 56 fb⁻¹ of 13.6 TeV ttbar data.
Top quark mass measured at 172.17 ± 1.56 GeV via unbinned maximum-likelihood fit to m(ℓ μ⁺μ⁻) in ATLAS Run 2 data using J/ψ decays.
The GN2 b-jet tagger is calibrated in 56 fb⁻¹ of 13.6 TeV pp data using dileptonic tt̄ events, yielding data-to-simulation scale factors of 0.9–1.3 with ~1% uncertainty in the best bins.
Higgs boson cross-section in H→4ℓ measured as 3.65 fb with new LHC data, consistent with SM expectation of 3.68 fb and signal strength 0.99±0.13.
No evidence for charginos and neutralinos in R-parity violating Higgs-decay channels; masses 150-1100 GeV excluded at 95% CL assuming equal lepton branching fractions.
No excess above Standard Model background is observed; 95% CL limits are set on couplings of the U1 vector leptoquark model for masses 1.5-3.0 TeV.
ATLAS Inner Detector track and vertex reconstruction maintains high efficiency, good resolution, and low fake rates for up to 80 simultaneous proton-proton interactions in Run 2 and Run 3 data and simulations.
ATLAS reports on its Run 3 software infrastructure for data management, workflows, databases, validation, and physics analysis tools at the LHC.
