Data-driven pile-up correction for track-based analyses — •Holger Schulz1, Heiko Lacker1, Gerhard Brandt2, and Michael Leyton11HU Berlin — 2University of Oxford

The impact of pile-up can have considerable effects on observables measured at the LHC, especially those sensitive to the effects of the underlying event. We present a data-driven method that is based on the HBOM ("Hit Backspace Once More") approach, to correct track-based distributions for tracks coming from pile-up interactions. We demonstrate successful application to a track-based measurement of event-shapes that are sensitive to the Underlying Event with the ATLAS detector. Tests of the method on Monte-Carlo simulation show closure within O(1−2 %) for the majority of bins of most observables studied.
