Description
A jet here is a spray of particles produced by the hadronization of a quark or a gluon in a high energy collision. Jets are extremely important as they are present in the final states of many decay analysis. The ATLAS detector, one of the six experiments at the LHC, measures the properties of jets produced in proton-proton (pp) collisions using primarily the energy signal deposited in its calorimeters by the particles. But the measured energy does not correspond to the initial energy carried by the particles; in other words the response of the calorimeter is different from one. This is due mainly to calorimeter effects, jet reconstruction effects, underlying events and/or pile up. The correction of the calorimeter response and the achievement of the optimal jet energy resolution are of key importance to many LHC physics analyses. In order to achieve these goals ATLAS have developed several jet calibration schemes, one of them is called Global Sequential (GS) Calibration. GS is a sequential jet calibration based on transversal and longitudinal properties of the jet structure. The performance of the GS in simulations, its validation using real data and its associated systematic uncertainty will be discussed in this seminar.
