Calibration of Monte Carlo jets for the fixed cone algorithm in ATLAS experiment

A. Cheplakov, R. StDenis, A. S. Thompson

An optimization of the jet calibration implemented in the Monte Carlo simulation package for ATLAS experiment has been proposed. A set of Z+1 jet events have been simulated to get a new parameterization, and to complete the calibration the W bosons produced in ttbar events have been reconstructed. A simple fixed cone algorithm commonly used for the jet reconstruction in various experiments has been tested for different values of the cone size and p_T{jet} threshold, and also for different processes such as WH H_to_bbbar and W+jets. The important features of the algorithm were noted and correspondent recommendations have been worked out.
