Jet results and jet reconstruction techniques in p+p and their prospects in Pb+Pb collisions in CMS

Copious production of very energetic jets is expected at the LHC due to the large increase in collision energy. Jet reconstruction at these high center of mass energies will provide crucial leverage to map out the QCD evolution of parton energy loss and a unique insight into the nature of the hot QCD matter. This article presents jet reconstruction techniques and the preliminary jet results in p+p collisions at √S = 7 TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. Jet reconstruction prospects for the heavy ion collisions are also discussed. (author)
