Abstract

In this chapter the ATLAS reconstruction process of the main physical objects used in the analyses presented in this manuscript are summarized. Section 6.1 describes in detail the reconstruction of the electrons and photons starting from the information collected in the EM calorimeter and in the tracker. Moreover, in Sect. 6.1.4 a more recent approach to reconstruct energy deposits in the ATLAS EM calorimeter is presented. Finally, Sects. 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 the muon, jet and missing transverse energy reconstruction scheme and performance are briefly described.
