Abstract: Quality criteria for the selection of reconstructed anti-kt jets with R=0.4 in the ATLAS detector are described. The study is based on data recorded in June 2015 by the ATLAS experiment in s√ = 13 TeV protonâproton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider, with a total integrated luminosity of 6.4 pb−1. Two selection criteria are introduced. The Loose selection is designed to provide an efficiency of selecting jets from proton-proton collisions above 99.5% (99.9%) for pT> 20 (100) GeV to be used in most ATLAS physics analyses. A tighter set of selection cuts, called Tight, is designed to further reject background jets for analyses sensitive to non-collision backgrounds with an efficiency of selecting jets from proton-proton collisions above 95% (99.5%) for pT> 20 (100) GeV
