This thesis describes the use of the angular distributions of the
most energetic dijets in data recorded by the ATLAS experiment, at
CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the goal of which is to search
for phenomena beyond what the current theory of Particle Physics
(the Standard Model) can describe. It also describes the deployment
of the method used in ATLAS to correct for the distortions in jet
energy measurements caused by additional proton-proton
interactions. The thesis provides a detailed introduction to
understanding jets and dijet searches at the LHC. The experiments
were carried out at two record collider centre-of-mass energies (8
and 13 TeV), probing smaller distances than ever before. Across a
broad momentum transfer range, the proton constituents (quarks and
gluons) display the same kinematical behaviour, and thus still
appear to be point-like. Data are compared to predictions corrected
for next-to-leading order quantum chromodynamics (NLO QCD) as well
as electroweak effects, demonstrating excellent agreement. The
results are subsequently used to set limits on parameters of
suggested theoretical extensions to the Standard Model (SM),
including the effective coupling and mass of a Dark Matter
mediator.
