A formalism for constructing the QCD power spectrum with finite sampling

Mithila Mangedarage, Keith Pedersen, Zack Sullivan

Recent progress in the study of QCD phenomena with energy correlators motivates novel approaches to explore the information contained in the QCD radiation spectrum. Fox-Wolfram mom…

Harnessing the global correlations of the QCD power spectrum

Keith Pedersen, Mithila Mangedarage, Zack Sullivan

As multiplicity increases at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, an opportunity arises to explore the information contained in the full QCD power spectrum on an event-by-event basis. T…

Spherical harmonics for multiparticle final states

Keith Pedersen, Zack Sullivan

We examine collider physics via the spectral power H_l, which utilizes much more detector information than sequential jet reconstruction. We use H_l to define a novel jet definitio…

Reconditioning your quantile function

Keith Pedersen

Monte Carlo simulation is an important tool for modeling highly nonlinear systems (like particle colliders and cellular membranes), and random, floating-point numbers are their fue…

Probing the two Higgs doublet wedge region with charged Higgs boson decays to boosted jets

Keith Pedersen, Zack Sullivan

Two Higgs doublet extensions of the standard model, such as supersymmetry, predict the existence of charged Higgs bosons. We explore the reach for TeV-scale charged Higgs bosons th…

Mu_x boosted-bottom-jet tagging and Z-prime boson searches

Keith Pedersen, Zack Sullivan

We present a new technique for tagging heavy-flavor jets with p_T > 500 GeV called "mu_x tagging." Current track-based methods of b-jet tagging lose efficiency and experience a lar…

Flavor tagging TeV jets for BSM and QCD

Keith Pedersen, Zack Sullivan

We present a new scheme for tagging high- bottom and charm jets using energetic muons. Contemporary track-based tags lose their ability to reject light jet background as…
