The dataset of particle physics made for undergraduate usually have everything in order, cleaned.
I am wondering in case of suppose electron-positron collision, the detector detects muons. Well, I hope we use two muon's momentum and energy to calculate the invariant mass of Z boson i.e ee-->z--> mm .
How in the world, do they distinguish which two are pair. I assume if I add two different muon from different Z boson , I might end up with different mass then of Z boson.
WHAT DO YOU GUYS DO AT THE DETECTOR?

I was not involved with that particular topic but I guess one does reconstruction (based on muon energies and momentums) of not only Z boson energy but momentum too, also i guess the events are rare so the chance for two at once is low.
