Jets originating from the fragmentation of quarks and gluons are the most common, and complicated, final state objects produced at hadron colliders. A precise knowledge of their energy calibration is therefore of great importance at experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, while is very difficult to ascertain. We present in-situ techniques and results for the jet energy scale at ATLAS using recent collision data. ATLAS has demonstrated an understanding of the necessary jet energy corrections to within approx 4% in the central region of the calorimeter.

The DZERO detector is used to study proton-antiproton collisions at the 1800 GeV and 630 GeV center-of-mass energies available at the Fermilab Tevatron. To measure jets, the detector uses a sampling calorimeter composed of uranium and liquid argon as the passive and active media respectively. Understanding the jet energy calibration is not only crucial for precision tests of QCD, but also for the measurement of particle masses and the determination of physics backgrounds associated with new phenomena. This paper describes the energy calibration of jets observed with the DZERO detector at the two proton-antiproton center-of-mass energies in the transverse energy and pseudorapidity range ET>8 GeV and pseudorapidity<3.
We study the impact of new set of cuts, proposed in our previous works, on the improvement of accuracy of the jet energy calibration with p p ->photon+Jet+X process at LHC. Monte Carlo events produced by the PYTHIA 5.7 generator are used for this aim. The selection criteria for photon+jet event samples that would provide a good balance of photon Pt with jet Pt and would allow to reduce the background are described. The distributions of these events over photon Pt and jet pseudorapidity are presented. The features of photon+jet events in the barrel region of the CMS detector (|eta^{jet}| < 1.4) are exposed. The efficiency of the cuts used for background suppression is demonstrated. It is shown that the samples of photon+jet events, gained with the cuts for the jet energy calibration, may have enough statistics for determining the gluon distribution inside a proton in the region of x > 2*10^{-4} and of Q^2 by two orders higher than that studied at HERA.
The measurement of hadronic activity recoiling against W and Z vector bosons provides an important test of perturbative QCD, as well as a method of searching for new physics in a model independent fashion. We present a study of the cross-section ratio for the production of W and Z gauge bosons in association with exactly one jet Rjet = {sigma}(W + 1jet)/{sigma}(Z + 1jet), in pp collisions at surds = 7 TeV. The study is performed in the electron and muon channels with data collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The ratio Rjet is studied as a function of the cumulative transverse momentum distribution of the jet. This result can be compared to NLO pQCD calculations and the prediction from LO matrix element + parton shower generators.
We present three measurements of the top quark mass in the lepton plus jets channel with 1.9 fb-1 of data using quantities with minimal dependence on the jet energy scale in the lepton plus jets channel at CDF. One measurement uses the mean transverse decay length of b-tagged jets (L2d) to determine the top mass, another uses the transverse momentum of the lepton (LepPt) to determine the top mass, and a third measurement uses both variables simultaneously. Using the L2d variable we measure a top mass of 176.7 (+10.0) (-8.9) (stat) +/- 3.4 (syst) GeV/c^2, using the LepPt variable we measure a top mass of 173.5 (+8.9) (-9.1) (stat) +/- 4.2 (syst) GeV/c^2, and doing the combined measurement using both variables we arrive at a top mass result of 175.3 +/- 6.2 (stat) +/- 3.0 (syst) GeV/c^2. Since some of the systematic uncertainties are statistically limited, these results are expected to improve significantly if more data is added at the Tevatron in the future, or if the measurement is done at the LHC.
The intrinsic performance of the ATLAS barrel and extended barrel calorimeters for the measurement of charged pions is presented. Pion energy scans (E = 20, 50, 200, 400 and 1000 GeV) at two pseudo-rapidity points ($eta$ = 0.3 and 1.3) and pseudorapidity scans ($-0.2 < eta < 1.8$) with pions of constant transverse energy ($E_T = 20$ and 50 GeV) are analysed. A simple approach, that accounts in first order for non-compensation and dead material effects, is used for the pion energy reconstruction. The intrinsic performances of the calorimeter are studied: resolution, linearity, effect of dead material, tails in the energy distribution. The effect of electronic noise, cell energy cuts and restricted cone size are investigated.
