Measurement of the photon identification efficiencies with the ATLAS detector using LHC Run-1 data

The algorithms used by the ATLAS Collaboration to reconstruct and identify prompt photons are described. Measurements of the photon identification efficiencies are reported, using 4.9 fb\(^{-1}\) of pp collision data collected at the LHC at \(\sqrt{s} = 7\) \(\text {TeV}\) and 20.3 fb\(^{-1}\) at \(...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:The algorithms used by the ATLAS Collaboration to reconstruct and identify prompt photons are described. Measurements of the photon identification efficiencies are reported, using 4.9 fb\(^{-1}\) of pp collision data collected at the LHC at \(\sqrt{s} = 7\) \(\text {TeV}\) and 20.3 fb\(^{-1}\) at \(\sqrt{s} = 8\) \(\text {TeV}\). The efficiencies are measured separately for converted and unconverted photons, in four different pseudorapidity regions, for transverse momenta between 10 \(\text {GeV}\) and 1.5 \(\text {TeV}\). The results from the combination of three data-driven techniques are compared to the predictions from a simulation of the detector response, after correcting the electromagnetic shower momenta in the simulation for the average differences observed with respect to data. Data-to-simulation efficiency ratios used as correction factors in physics measurements are determined to account for the small residual efficiency differences. These factors are measured with uncertainties between 0.5% and 10% in 7 \(\text {TeV}\) data and between 0.5% and 5.6% in 8 \(\text {TeV}\) data, depending on the photon transverse momentum and pseudorapidity.
