Description

Accurate jet reconstruction is necessary for understanding the link between free partons and the collimated "jets" of colourless particles they hadronise into. This link will shed light on the properties of the partons. I shall present a review of  various jet reconstruction algorithms, namely Kt, anti-Kt, Cambridge/Aachen, Iterative cones and SIScone, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. An application with data may also be presented
