Jet Substructure Variables with the SiFCC Detector at 100 TeV

Abstract

Future experiments beyond the LHC era will measure high-momentum bosons ($W$, $Z$, $H$) and top quarks with strongly collimated decay products that form hadronic jets. This paper describes the studies of the performance of jet substructure variables using the Geant4 simulation of a detector designed for high energy $pp$ collisions at a 100 TeV collider. The two-prong jets from $Z^{\prime }\to WW$ and three-prong jets from $Z^{\prime }\to t\bar{t}$ are compared with the background from light quark jets, assuming $Z^{\prime }$ masses in the range 5 -- 40 TeV. Our results indicate that the performance of jet-substructure reconstruction improves with reducing transverse cell sizes of a hadronic calorimeter from $\hat{I}”\hat{I}\cdot \times \hat{I}”\ddot{I}•=0.087\times 0.087$ to $0.022\times 0.022$ in most cases.
