Abstract
Jets are one of the most prominent physics signatures of high energy proton–proton (p–p) collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). They are key physics objects for precision measurements and searches for new phenomena. This review provides an overview of the reconstruction and calibration of jets at the LHC during its first Run. ATLAS and CMS developed different approaches for the reconstruction of jets, but use similar methods for the energy calibration. ATLAS reconstructs jets utilizing input signals from their calorimeters and use charged particle tracks to refine their energy measurement and suppress the effects of multiple p–p interactions (pileup). CMS, instead, combines calorimeter and tracking information to build jets from particle flow objects. Jets are calibrated using Monte Carlo (MC) simulations and a residual in situ calibration derived from collision data is applied to correct for the differences in jet response between data and Monte Carlo. Large samples of dijet, [Formula: see text]+jets, and [Formula: see text]+events at the LHC allowed the calibration of jets with high precision, leading to very small systematic uncertainties. Both ATLAS and CMS achieved a jet energy calibration uncertainty of about 1% in the central detector region and for jets with transverse momentum [Formula: see text]. At low jet [Formula: see text], the jet energy calibration uncertainty is less than 4%, with dominant contributions from pileup, differences in energy scale between quark and gluon jets, and jet flavor composition.
