Description
The missing transverse momentum in the ATLAS experiment is the momentum imbalance in the plane transverse to the beam axis. That is the resultant of the negative vectorial sum of the momenta of all particles that are involved in the proton-proton collision. A precise measurement of the missing transverse energy is essential for many physics studies at the LHC, such as Higgs boson measurements, as well as for searches of physics beyond the Standard Model. The reconstruction of missing energy is sensitive to the presence of additional collisions, usually referred to as pile-up. A new method is being used to reduce the effect of pileup events in ATLAS experiment. This presentation describes the performance of missing energy in respect to the improvement of vertex methods in ATLAS experiment.
