Data-Quality Requirements and Event Cleaning for Jets and Missing Transverse Energy Reconstruction with the ATLAS Detector in Proton-Proton Collisions at a Center-of-Mass Energy of $sqrt{s}=7$ TeV

The criteria for the selection of jets and missing transverse energy reconstructed with the ATLAS detector, in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of $sqrt{s}=7$~TeV are described. The data set corresponds to the run period of the LHC in April 2010. The selection is designed to ensure a high rejection of events without proton-proton collisions, and a good quality of reconstructed central jets and missing transverse energy.
