Why Does CERN Exist?
?The LHC is a microscope.
Are quarkselementary?
How good is the Standard Model?
Darkenergy?Dark
matter?
Tinyunicorns?

Why Spend the Money?
• Pure science.
• Technological advancement (i.e. the US manned spaceflight program).
• PhDs.

Jet energy is sum of energy in each calorimeter cell in a jet, corrected for the position of each cell.The proton beam is in the z direction, so no missing energy should be in x or y.

Missing Transverse Energy (ETmiss)
• Sometimes, the energy in x and/or y is nonzero.• Why missing energy?
– Detector failures.– Neutrino production (neutrinos cannot be detected by
ATLAS). – Mismeasurements of jets and muons.– New physics?
• Exmiss = missing energy in x.
• Eymiss = missing energy in y.

Over/Underflow Events
• We have to explain events with energies in the “unknown” region.
• Why?– New physics can be hiding here.– Background and detector problems could be here.
–Before we claim new physics, we must understand our detector and background!!!

Contribution
• Catalogued interesting events from run 158045.
• These events may be used for future studies to characterize the ATLAS detector and background.
• A tiny contribution, but very illuminating for me.
