Abstract
Object reconstruction is a vital component of all analyses. It is the crucial step in which the electronic signals read out from the detector are combined to form objects which can be identified as particles. Once identified, the objects are then calibrated, such that their physical attributes (for example, their energy) are corrected for known detector effects. The calibrated objects can then be used in physics analyses. This chapter outlines the reconstruction and calibration of the objects utilised in the analyses in this thesis.

The jet area is calculated using ghost association, where a large number of ‘ghost’ particles with infinitessimal transverse momentum are added uniformly to the event in the \(y-\phi \) plane. The number of these particles clustered to a jet gives a measure of the jet area [16].
