Moriond 2009, QCD and High Energy Interactions: Theory Summary
Gavin P. Salam
These proceedings provide a brief summary of the theoretical topics that were covered at Moriond QCD 2009, including non-perturbative QCD, perturbative QCD at colliders, a small co…
Parton Distributions
M. Dittmar, S. Forte, A. Glazov +37
We provide an assessment of the state of the art in various issues related to experimental measurements, phenomenological methods and theoretical results relevant for the determina…
Quantifying the performance of jet definitions for kinematic reconstruction at the LHC
Matteo Cacciari, Juan Rojo, Gavin P. Salam +1
We present a strategy to quantify the performance of jet definitions in kinematic reconstruction tasks. It is designed to make use exclusively of physical observables, in contrast…
Jet substructure as a new Higgs search channel at the LHC
Jonathan M. Butterworth, Adam R. Davison, Mathieu Rubin +1
These proceedings discuss a possible new search strategy for a light Higgs boson at the LHC, in high-pt WH and ZH production where the Higgs boson decays to a single collimated b-b…
Travelling waves and impact-parameter correlations
S. Munier, G. P. Salam, G. Soyez
It is usually assumed that the high-energy evolution of partons in QCD remains local in coordinate space. In particular, fixed impact-parameter scattering is thought to be in the u…
Recent progress in defining and understanding jets
Gavin P. Salam
This talk reviews some key developments that have taken place in hadron-collider jet finding over the past couple of years, including: technical advances such as the complete formu…
