Building a Better Boosted Top Tagger

Andrew J. Larkoski, Ian Moult, Duff Neill

Distinguishing hadronically decaying boosted top quarks from massive QCD jets is an important challenge at the Large Hadron Collider. In this paper we use the power counting method…

Soft Functions for Generic Jet Algorithms and Observables at Hadron Colliders

Daniele Bertolini, Daniel Kolodrubetz, Duff Neill +4

We introduce a method to compute one-loop soft functions for exclusive -jet processes at hadron colliders, allowing for different definitions of the algorithm that determines th…

Soft Theorems from Effective Field Theory

Andrew J. Larkoski, Duff Neill, Iain W. Stewart

The singular limits of massless gauge theory amplitudes are described by an effective theory, called soft-collinear effective theory (SCET), which has been applied most successfull…

Universality of relaxation dynamics for -symmetric spin-models

Duff Neill, Hanqing Liu

Spin-models, where the spins interact pairwise with a symmetry preserving hamiltonian, famously simplify in the large , limits, as derived by Sachdev and Ye…

Non-Global and Clustering Effects for Groomed Multi-Prong Jet Shapes

Duff Neill

We present a resummation valid to next-to leading logarithmic accuracy of the non-global and clustering effects in groomed (with modified mass drop tagger) multi-pronged observable…

The Higgs Transverse Momentum Distribution at NNLL and its Theoretical Errors

Duff Neill, Ira Z. Rothstein, Varun Vaidya

In this letter, we present the NNLL-NNLO transverse momentum Higgs distribution arising from gluon fusion. In the regime we include the resummation of the large lo…
