Of all the Standard Model par0cles, quarks carry the most (non-‐trivial) quantum numbers, yet none of these are directly observable. However, some of the informa0on from the quarks is passed on to the final-‐state objects. Recently, the ATLAS collabora0on has performed a dedicated study on one such property, the jet charge, which is a proxy for quark charge. In this talk, I'll discuss both physics and performance aspects of the jet charge observable.

Jet Charge
• However, some info is passedto the final state.→ Familiar example: jet pT .
• The quark charge is anotherexample.
• We can only measure q ∈ Zso some information is lost.
→ Weighted sum overtrack/particle charges is aproxy to the quark chargeknown as
