Improvement of the Jet Calibration Techniques for the ATLAS Experiment in LHC Run II

Many analyses in particle physics need jets, clustered with different parameters or even with different algorithms. But it is not feasible to provide in-situ correction factors for each case. In this thesis a new calibration method is tested which is called "R-scan calibration". This calibration uses only one fully calibrated jet collection. By building ratios between the fully calibrated jets and partially calibrated jets, it is possible to derive in-situ correction factors for the probe jet. Especially for the new run of the LHC a quick inter-calibration like the R-scan is very useful. Therefore, during this thesis the R-scan method is designed and improved with the data acquired during Run I. After a validation of this method it is applied to the new data format of Run II.
