Description
The performance of the reconstruction, calibration and identification of
electrons and photons with the ATLAS detector at the LHC is a key component to
realize the ATLAS full physics potential, both in the searches for new physics
and in precision measurements.
The algorithms used for the reconstruction and identification of electrons
and photons with the ATLAS detector during LHC run 2 are presented.
Measurements of the identification efficiencies are derived from data. The results
from the 2015 pp collision data set at sqrt(s)=13 TeV are reported. The electron and
photon energy calibration procedure and its performance are also discussed.
