Top-tagging: A Method for Identifying Boosted Hadronic Tops
David E. Kaplan, Keith Rehermann, Matthew D. Schwartz +1
A method is introduced for distinguishing top jets (boosted, hadronically decaying top quarks) from light quark and gluon jets using jet substructure. The procedure involves parsin…
Constraining Light Colored Particles with Event Shapes
David E. Kaplan, Matthew D. Schwartz
Using recently developed techniques for computing event shapes with Soft-Collinear Effective Theory, LEP event shape data is used to derive strong model-independent bounds on new c…
Study of Polarization in B -> VT Decays
Alakabha Datta, Yanyan Gao, Andrei V. Gritsan +3
In this paper, we examine B -> VT decays (V is a vector and T is a tensor meson), whose final-state particles can have transverse or longitudinal polarization. Measurements have be…
Resummation and NLO Matching of Event Shapes with Effective Field Theory
Matthew D. Schwartz
The resummed differential thrust rate in e+e- annihilation is calculated using Soft-Collinear Effective Theory (SCET). The resulting distribution in the two-jet region T~1 is found…
Decoupling and Destabilizing in Spontaneously Broken Supersymmetry
Jonathan A. Bagger, Adam F. Falk
The supersymmetric analog of the Goldberger-Treiman relation plays a critical role in the low energy effective theory of models in which supersymmetry is spontaneously broken in a…
Testing Explanations of the Polarization Puzzle
Alakabha Datta, Andrei V. Gritsan, David London +2
($\btos$) is three separate decays, one for each polarization of the final-state vector mesons (one longitudinal, two transverse). It is observed that the fraction of tr…
