Overview of electron performances from Run I. Identification to isolation at ATLAS detector

  • 1. Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, Zeuthen (Germany)

Description

Most physics analyses carried out using the data collected by the ATLAS experiment in pp collision at centre-of-mass energies of √(s)=7 and 8 TeV need a deep understanding of electron reconstruction and identification requirements. In addition, isolation criteria are usually imposed on electrons to further reject other particles mis-identified as electrons. Impact parameter requirements play an important role to select tracks compatible with the primary vertex of interaction. A detailed study of electron performances (efficiencies, data to MC correction factors) on Run I data, using the above mentioned selection requirements for electrons, is presented together with an outlook at the expectations for Run II.
