Performance of the ATLAS Track Reconstruction Algorithms in Dense Environments in LHC Run 2

Abstract

With the increase in energy of the Large Hadron Collider to a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV for Run 2, events with dense environments, such as in the cores of high-energy jets, became a focus for new physics searches as well as measurements of the Standard Model. These environments are characterized by charged-particle separations of the order of the tracking detectors sensor granularity. Basic track quantities are compared between 3.2 fb${}^{-1}$ of data collected by the ATLAS experiment and simulation of proton-proton collisions producing high-transverse-momentum jets at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The impact of charged-particle separations and multiplicities on the track reconstruction performance is discussed. The efficiency in the cores of jets with transverse momenta between 200 GeV and 1600 GeV is quantified using a novel, data-driven, method. The method uses the energy loss, dE/dx, to identify pixel clusters originating from two charged particles. Of the charged particles creating these clusters, the measured fraction that fail to be reconstructed is $0.061\pm 0.006\text{(stat.)}\pm 0.014\text{(syst.)}$ and $0.093\pm 0.017\text{(stat.)}\pm 0.021\text{(syst.)}$ for jet transverse momenta of 200-400 GeV and 1400-1600 GeV, respectively.
