Investigating top tagging with Y-Splitter and N-subjettiness
arXiv:2108.09317 · doi:10.1007/JHEP10(2021)092
Abstract
We study top-tagging from an analytical QCD perspective focusing on the role of two key steps therein : a step to find three-pronged substructure and a step that places constraints on radiation. For the former we use a recently introduced modification of Y-Splitter, known as Y-Splitter, and for the latter we use the well-known N-subjettiness variable. We derive resummed results for this combination of variables for both signal jets and background jets, also including pre-grooming of the jet. Our results give new insight into the performance of top tagging tools in particular with regard to the role of the distinct steps involved.
