Soft Drop

TL;DR: In this article, a new jet substructure technique called "soft drop declustering" is introduced, which recursively removes soft wide-angle radiation from a jet, and the soft drop algorithm depends on two parameters--a soft threshold $z_\text{cut}$ and an angular exponent $β$ with the β = 0$ limit corresponding roughly to the (modified) mass drop procedure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Energy correlation functions for jet substructure

TL;DR: In this paper, generalized energy correlation functions are used as a powerful probe of jet substructure, based on the energies and pairwise angles of particles within a jet, with (N + 1)-point correlators sensitive to N-prong substructure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Jet Substructure at the Large Hadron Collider: A Review of Recent Advances in Theory and Machine Learning

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of state-of-the-art theoretical and machine learning developments in jet substructure is provided in this article, which is meant both as a pedagogical introduction and as a comprehensive reference for experts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Jet Substructure at the Tevatron and LHC: New results, new tools, new benchmarks

A. Altheimer, +76 more
- 03 May 2012 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the status of and outlook for calculation and simulation tools for studying jet substructure is reviewed and a new set of benchmark comparisons of substructure techniques, focusing on the set of variables and grooming methods are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Boosted objects and jet substructure at the LHC. Report of BOOST2012, held at IFIC Valencia, 23rd-27th of July 2012

A. Altheimer, +89 more
TL;DR: The results of the BOOST2012 workshop on jet substructure analysis are presented in this paper, with a focus on the impact of additional (pile-up) proton proton collisions on jet sub-structures in future LHC operating scenarios.
