Abstract

Jet energy scale measurements and their systematic uncertainties are reported for jets measured with the ATLAS detector using proton-proton collision data with a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.2 fb$^{-1}$ collected during 2015 at the LHC. Jets are reconstructed from energy deposits forming topological clusters of calorimeter cells, using the anti-$k_{t}$ algorithm with radius parameter $R = 0.4$. Jets are calibrated with a series of simulation-based corrections and in situ techniques. In situ techniques exploit the transverse momentum balance between a jet and a reference object such as a photon, $Z$ boson, or multijet system for jets with $20 <p_{T} <2000$ GeV and pseudorapidities of $|\eta| 0.8$) is derived from dijet $p_{T}$ balance measurements. For jets of $p_{T} = 80$ GeV, the additional uncertainty for the forward jet calibration reaches its largest value of about 2% in the range $|\eta| > 3.5$ and in a narrow slice of $2.2 <|\eta| <2.4$.
