Sumario:After some introduction to the quantum chromodynamics and physics of the heavy ions collisions, and after a brief review of the ATLAS detector, the attention is focused to the main aim of the work. The main aim of the work is to develop and test algorithms suitable for the jet reconstruction in heavy ion collisions at the ATLAS detector. After the detailed description of these algorithms and their implementation to the official software of the ATLAS detector, the author analyzes their performance and provides expectation of accuracy of jet measurements in the heavy ion collisions. The rest of the work focuses on a possibility to study the influence of jets by the medium created in heavy ion collisions.
