Abstract

Jets produced in the hadronisation of quarks and gluons play a central role in the rich physics program that will be covered by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC, and are central elements of the signature for many physics channels. A well understood energy scale, which for some processes demands an uncertainty in the energy scale of order 1%, is a prerequisite. Moreover, in early data we will face the challenge of dealing with the unexpected issues of a brand new detector in an unexplored energy domain. The ATLAS collaboration is carrying out a program to revisit the jet calibration strategies used in earlier hadron-collider experiments and develop a strategy which takes into account the new experimental problems introduced from higher precision measurement and from the LHC environment. The ATLAS calorimeter is intrinsically non-compensating and we will discuss the use of different offline approaches based on cell energy density and jet topology to correct the linearity response while improving the resolution. In addition, we will present the steps in jet calibration which account for detector and experimental conditions such as noise and energy depositions from overlapping events. We will also discuss the validation analysis done both with data from test-beam and from benchmark physical channels.
