Commissioning ATLAS and CMS with top quarks

arXiv:0805.3816 · doi:10.1393/ncb/i2008-10546-2

Abstract

The large ttbar production cross-section at the LHC suggests the use of top quark decays to calibrate several critical parts of the detectors, such as the trigger system, the jet energy scale and b-tagging.
