ABSTRACT:

The most abundant objects produced in high-energy proton-proton collisions at the LHC are jets which are reconstructed from topologically associated energy depositions in calorimeter cells, charged-particle tracks, or simulated particles. Ideally, jets are corrected due to the intrinsic limitations of the detector system. In CMS, reconstructed jets are calibrated by using a factorized approach. This seminar will present two analyses related to jet energy scale corrections focus on the low pT region. The first part of the talk is dedicated to the Monte Carlo (MC) truth jet energy corrections for no pileup QCD PYTHIA8 sample. The study is performed using the anti-kT clustering algorithm with a distance parameter R = 0.4 in the pseudorapidity range |η| < 5.191 for jet transverse momentum 10 < pT < 905 GeV. The second part presents the calibration of the jet energy scale with respect to residual differences between data and simulation after simulation-based pre-calibrations are applied. In this analysis, low pile-up data collected by the CMS experiment in 2015 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV are used. The correction factors depending on jet pT and η are derived by using two different methods based on the dijet final states in the region of |η| < 5.191 pseudorapidity and 20 < pT < 114 GeV. This will make an important contribution to the physics analysis to be performed using the low pT jets. In addition, previous physics analysis, and activities at the Phase-1 Upgrade of the CMS Hadron Calorimeter will be also presented.
