For the selected muon channel, finite curvature resolution in the magnetic tracking system broadens the reconstructed transverse momentum spectrum. A high-$p_T$ track has small sagitta, so spatial measurement errors, alignment errors and magnetic-field calibration errors become important; at high momentum an approximately fixed uncertainty in $1/p_T$ gives $\delta p_T\propto p_T^2$. Multiple Coulomb scattering contributes at lower momenta. If the transverse mass is fitted, finite hadronic-recoil resolution additionally smears the inferred missing transverse momentum. These are experimental effects, distinct from the physical recoil and width in ii.
