Abstract

Using a measure of the jet energy resolution that relies on momentum balance in direct photon events, a correction to the modelled detector resolution is developed. The correction is produced by iteratively unfolding the model from the measured data. Jets in the model are then smeared using this correction, and the result is compared to the data using a χ2 test. This method is shown to be effective at improving the agreement between the data and the model, even when the model initially shows poor agreement to the data.
