Single hadron response measurement and calorimeter jet energy scale uncertainty with the ATLAS detector at the LHC
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The uncertainty on the calorimeter energy response to jets of particles is derived for the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). First, the calorimeter response to single isolated charged hadrons is measured and compared to the Monte Carlo simulation using proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of √ s = 900 GeV and 7 TeV collected during 2009 and 2010. Then, using the decay of Ks and Λ particles, the calorimeter response to specific types of particles (positively and negatively charged pions, protons, and anti-protons) is measured and compared to the Monte Carlo predictions. Finally, the jet energy scale uncertainty is determined by propagating the response uncertainty for single charged and neutral particles to jets. The response uncertainty is 2–5 % for central isolated hadrons and 1–3 % for the final calorimeter jet en-

متن کاملMeasurement of Hadronic Event Shapes and Jet Substructure in Proton-Proton Collisions at 7.0 TEV Center-Of-Mass Energy with the Atlas Detector at The Large Hadron Collider
This thesis presents the first measurement of 6 hadronic event shapes in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of √ s = 7 TeV using the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Results are presented at the particle-level, permitting comparisons to multiple Monte Carlo event generator tools. Numerous tools and techniques that enable detailed analysis of the hadronic final state...
متن کاملJet reconstruction and performance using particle flow with the ATLAS Detector
This paper describes the implementation and performance of a particle flow algorithm applied to 20.2 fb−1 of ATLAS data from 8 TeV proton–proton collisions in Run 1 of the LHC. The algorithm removes calorimeter energy deposits due to charged hadrons from consideration during jet reconstruction, instead using measurements of their momenta from the inner tracker. This improves the accuracy of the...
متن کاملGravitino Dark Matter Scenarios with Massive Metastable Charged Sparticles at the LHC
We investigate the measurement of supersymmetric particle masses at the LHC in gravitino dark matter (GDM) scenarios where the next-to-lightest supersymmetric partner (NLSP) is the lighter scalar tau, or stau, and is stable on the scale of a detector. Such a massive metastable charged sparticle would have distinctive Time-of-Flight (ToF) and energy-loss (dE/dx) signatures. We summarise the docu...
متن کاملElectron performance measurements with the ATLAS detector using the 2010 LHC proton-proton collision data
Detailed measurements of the electron performance of the ATLAS detector at the LHC are reported, using decays of the Z, W and J/ψ particles. Data collected in 2010 at √ s = 7 TeV are used, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of almost 40 pb−1. The inter-alignment of the inner detector and the electromagnetic calorimeter, the determination of the electron energy scale and resolution, and t...
