Abstract
The ATLAS detector at the LHC is able to measure the trajectory of particles with great precision, however there is some systematic error in measuring the energy. This systematic error can be quantitatively described by what are known as transfer functions. For this work, I have computed a new set of transfer functions, compatible with detector upgrades and a center of mass energy of 13 TeV. These transfer functions were then applied to an analysis of Monte Carlo data to verify their effectiveness.
