Examine/discuss the different regions of validity for calculations of variables like jet mass, jet width, subjet multiplicity, using e.g. (N)LO ME, PS, matched and resummed calculations etc... (see also A Collection of Matching Benchmarks). Review, compare, critique literature, think about future ideas.

Recent preprint on Zbb and Wbb at NLO.

MC issues

Differences in heavy object decays; different parton showers, matrix element corrections in some MC, not in others; in Herwig, Herwig++, pythia, sherpa. POWHEG improvement soon. See talk from Carlo Oleari Friday afternoon for some discussion of MC@NLO and POWHEG in Higgs decays. Dead cones etc. Keith Hamilton, Giacinto Piacquadio, Matt Schwartz, Leif? to produce a short summary of the effects implemented in different MCs.

How sensitive are the various subjet methods to the above differences?

Detector issues

Pile-up, calorimeter nouse, granularity. Slides from Peter Loch to be linked here.

Studies from GP, MS.

Incomplete set of jet substructure references

* Butterworth+ W/Z+higgs (Cambridge/Aachen)
* Kaplan+ top tagging
* Seymour+ clustering (kT algorithm)
* Butterworth+ WW (kT y scales) 
* The above analysis was carried out with a full detector simulation in the WW scattering chapter (p1769) of this big ATLAS paper.
* Butterworth+ W,Z,H in SUSY cascades (kT y scale again)
* Dokshitzer+ clustering
* Almeida+ and Almeida+ top event shapes
* Butterworth+ neutralinos (kT yscales and Cambridge/Aachen)
* ATLAS public note (SUSY09) on neutralinos from subjet structure
* S. Ellis+ jet pruning, using top as an example
* Krohn+ variable R
* Top ID using kT y scales this Les Houches report (p106)
* Bahr+ Herwig++ manual (includes heavy particle decays)
* Hamilton+ Showers for top decay

Types of object one might use substructure on

  • QCD jets (quark gluon separation)

Wjj provides a sample of quark jets at LHC?

SUSY cascades are rich in quark jets. Could use quark ID to simplify decay chains.

LEP papers.

CDF conference proceedings (2004).

ZEUS paper.

  • Colour singlet heavy objects, two body decay (W,Z,H...)
  • Colour singlet heavy objects, three body decay (Neutralino,...)
  • Coloured heavy objects (top,...)
