Successive combination jet algorithm for hadron collisions

TL;DR: It is suggested that a successive combination style algorithm, similar to that used in [ital e][sup +][ital e[minus]] physics, might be useful also in hadron collisions, where cone style algorithms have been used previously.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recombination algorithms and jet substructure: Pruning as a tool for heavy particle searches

TL;DR: In this article, a technique, called pruning, was proposed to identify heavy particle decays into single jets and distinguish them from QCD jets, which may be useful in a search for heavy particles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Techniques for improved heavy particle searches with jet substructure

TL;DR: In this article, a generic method for improving the effectiveness of heavy particle searches in hadronic channels at the Large Hadron Collider is presented, by selectively removing, or pruning, protojets from the substructure provided by a k{sub T}-type jet algorithm, which improves the mass resolution for heavy decays and decrease the QCD background.
Journal ArticleDOI

Boosted objects: a probe of beyond the standard model physics

A. Abdesselam, +67 more
TL;DR: The report of the hadronic working group of the BOOST2010 workshop held at the University of Oxford in June 2010 as discussed by the authors discusses the potential of hadronic decays of highly boosted particles as an aid for discovery at the LHC and a discussion of tools developed to meet the challenge of reconstructing and isolating these topologies.
