Sequential recombination algorithm for jet clustering and background subtraction
arXiv:1304.1025 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.88.014044
Abstract
We investigate a new sequential recombination algorithm which effectively subtracts background as it reconstructs the jet. We examine the new algorithm's behavior in light of existing algorithms, and we find that in Monte Carlo comparisons, the new algorithm's robustness against collision backgrounds is comparable to that of other jet algorithms when the latter have been augmented by further background subtraction techniques.
