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…
Updated predictions for the total production cross sections of top and of heavier quark pairs at the Tevatron and at the LHC
Matteo Cacciari, Stefano Frixione, Michelangelo L. Mangano +2
We present updated predictions for the total production cross section of top-quark pairs at the Tevatron and at the LHC, and, at the LHC, of heavy-quark pairs with mass in the rang…
Standard Model Handles and Candles Working Group: Tools and Jets Summary Report
C. Buttar, J. D'Hondt, M. Kramer +54
This report summarizes the activity on comparisons of existings tools for the standard model and on issues in jet physics by the SMHC working group during and subsequent to the Wor…
The Catchment Area of Jets
Matteo Cacciari, Gavin P. Salam, Gregory Soyez
The area of a jet is a measure of its susceptibility to radiation, like pileup or underlying event (UE), that on average, in the jet's neighbourhood, is uniform in rapidity and azi…
