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…
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…
Power Counting to Better Jet Observables
Andrew J. Larkoski, Ian Moult, Duff Neill
Optimized jet substructure observables for identifying boosted topologies will play an essential role in maximizing the physics reach of the Large Hadron Collider. Ideally, the des…
Jet Shapes with the Broadening Axis
Andrew J. Larkoski, Duff Neill, Jesse Thaler
Broadening is a classic jet observable that probes the transverse momentum structure of jets. Traditionally, broadening has been measured with respect to the thrust axis, which is…
Toward Multi-Differential Cross Sections: Measuring Two Angularities on a Single Jet
Andrew J. Larkoski, Ian Moult, Duff Neill
The analytic study of differential cross sections in QCD has typically focused on individual observables, such as mass or thrust, to great success. Here, we present a first study o…
