TLDR
In this paper, a detailed study of the expected performance of the ATLAS detector is presented, together with the reconstruction of tracks, leptons, photons, missing energy and jets, along with the performance of b-tagging and the trigger.
Abstract
A detailed study is presented of the expected performance of the ATLAS detector. The reconstruction of tracks, leptons, photons, missing energy and jets is investigated, together with the performance of b-tagging and the trigger. The physics potential for a variety of interesting physics processes, within the Standard Model and beyond, is examined. The study comprises a series of notes based on simulations of the detector and physics processes, with particular emphasis given to the data expected from the first years of operation of the LHC at CERN.

A review of the mass measurement techniques proposed for the Large Hadron Collider

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the methods which have been proposed for measuring masses of new particles at the Large Hadron Collider paying particular attention to the kinematical techniques suitable for extracting mass information when invisible particles are expected.
