10 How to define a jet There is no unique way to define a jet Different jet algorithms to cluster energy constituents into a jet: Anti-k ' : cluster hard (high-p ' ) and close (small R) energy deposits first k ' : cluster soft (low-p ' ) and close Cambridge/Aachen: cluster close 12 constituents = large E = small E R 11/09/2018 Emma Winkels ewinkels@cern.ch HEPMAD18 9

11 Boosted jets Different jet radii (R) for different purposes: Small jets for quarks and gluons Large jets for hadronic decays of W, Z, H, top.. θ 2m/pT Increasing pt 11/09/2018 Emma Winkels HEPMAD18 10

12 Jet substructure Access the inner structure of large jets* Jet substructure variables are some function of Number of constituents Energy of the constituents Angular separation of the constituents ( R) Jet substructure helps us in jet tagging R 12 constituents = large E = small E * We use jet grooming to cut away the soft parts of jets, see /09/2018 Emma Winkels ewinkels@cern.ch HEPMAD18 11

13 Jet tagging Identify the particle that produced the jet. Used in broad range of physics analyses. Analyses looking at boosted top/higgs/w: distinguish these large jets from quark/gluon jets Analyses with b-hadrons or c-hadrons in the final state: heavy flavour tagging (b-, c-quark jets) 11/09/2018 Emma Winkels HEPMAD18 12
