Abstract

We present QCD studies with jets collected by the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at 7 TeV center of mass energy, including inclusive jet and dijet cross section measurements, the dijet polar and azimuthal angular distributions, and jet and event shapes. The data are compared to QCD predictions at NLO and NNLO and we show the sensitivity to physics processes beyond the Standard Model.

Summary

Jet Performance

Four types of jets are reconstructed at CMS [1], which differently combine individual contributions from sub detectors to form the inputs to the jet clustering algorithm: Calorimeter jets are reconstructed using energy deposits in the electromagnetic (ECAL) and hadronic (HCAL) calorimeter cells, combined into calorimeter towers. The JetPlus-Tracks (JPT) algorithm [2] exploits the excellent performance of the CMS tracking detectors to improve the pT response and resolution of calorimeter jets. The relative correction removes variations in jet response versus jet η relative to a central control region (|η|
