Inputs and Procedures of Jet Reconstruction in ATLAS

In order to study hadronic final states, it is of utmost importance to consider the inputs used when building jets, and the definition of the jet reconstruction procedure. These fundamental choices of how to build jets have wide-reaching implications, from pileup stability to the precision of the resulting jet energy scale to the ability to tag and identify hadronic decays encapsulated within the jets. The inputs to jets and jet reconstruction procedures used by ATLAS will be discussed, as will the subsequent implications of these choices on hadronic physics.
