Outline

• Nuts and bolts talk about what I’ve learned inpreparation for ATLAS HI jet reconstruction– Biggest lesson: Cannot just run “standard” algorithms

“out of the box”• Two specific issues will be discussed

– Fake jets from cone jet reconstruction• Summary and extension of arXiv:0810.1219 [nucl-ex]

accepted for publication in EPJC.– Losing peripheral jet energy in HI kT jet reconstruction

Cone Jets in ATLAS

• Cone jet reconstruction requires subtraction of theunderlying event before jet finding

Cone Jets in ATLAS

• Subtract <ET> at the cell level– but there are upward fluctuations that exist

Evaluation of the Fake Rate

• Run the jet reconstruction without embedding jets• Suppress jet production in HIJING

– Do not sample Q2>100 GeV2 hard scattering– Suppress longitudinal string fragmentation

• produces 10-2 jets per event with ET>50 GeV

• Any reconstructed jets with ET >> 10 GeV in thissample are FAKE.

The Fake Rate Is Not Small!

• The fake rate islarge– Fake rate =

expected rateat 30 GeV

– Fake rate = 1/2expected rateat 50 GeV

• Need to reject(>10) toimprove purityof jet sample

The Character of Fake Jets

• Fake jets tend to be asingle tower abovethreshold (5 GeV) atlarge angles w.r.t. thejet axis

• Need a discriminationvariable whichemphasizes largeangle energy

A Rejection Variable: ΣjT

• Define

• Has a trivial jet ETdependence

• whereFake jets have a much wider energy profile (factor of ~2 at 50 GeV) than real jets

Summary

• There are subtleties in the jet reconstruction algorithm inheavy ion collisions– Fake rate from correlate background fluctuations– Modification of kT jet shape

• These issues can and need to be overcome by careful studyfrom data for jet reconstruction to become standard in heavyion collisions.

• Understanding of the underlying event is crucial tounderstanding and performing jet reconstructionmeasurements in heavy ion collisions.– Can we measure, non-jet, correlated background fluctuations?
