Eur. Phys. J. C 75 (2015) 409
Report from the BOOST 2013 workshop studying relationships between jet substructure observables, their complementarity, and their dependence on underlying jet properties for quark/gluon discrimination, boosted W tagging, and boosted top tagging.
JHEP 05 (2014) 005
Develops a data-driven method for estimating QCD backgrounds in boosted-object searches by constructing templates from the substructure properties of jets in control regions.
Eur. Phys. J. C 74 (2014) 2792
Community report from the BOOST 2012 workshop summarizing the state of the art in jet substructure theory, tools, and experimental systematics for boosted-object identification at the LHC.
J. Phys. G 39 (2012) 063001
Second annual BOOST workshop report, updating substructure benchmarks with new tools and the first Tevatron and LHC experimental results, and publishing harmonized software implementations of top-tagging algorithms.
JHEP 10 (2011) 012
Optimizes jets + missing energy search strategies for early 7 TeV LHC data, mapping sensitivity across simplified model spectra and providing concrete recommendations for kinematic cuts and signal regions.
JHEP 04 (2012) 007
Introduces dipolarity, a jet observable that distinguishes whether a pair of subjets originates from a color-singlet source by measuring the pattern of radiation between them. Incorporated into the HEPTopTagger, it improves top-vs-QCD discrimination.
Eur. Phys. J. C 71 (2011) 1661
Report of the hadronic working group of the BOOST 2010 workshop, reviewing boosted-particle reconstruction techniques and presenting the first systematic benchmark comparisons of jet grooming and top tagging algorithms.
Phys. Lett. B 702 (2011) 64-68
Reinterprets the first ATLAS supersymmetry search with 70/nb of data, showing that gluino masses below 205 GeV are disfavored regardless of LSP mass, already surpassing the Tevatron reach for compressed spectra.
JHEP 12 (2010) 030
Develops search strategies for new physics at the LHC that improve sensitivity by combining multiple signal regions and optimizing for broad coverage across simplified model mass planes.
Phys. Rev. D 79 (2009) 015005
Proposes a model-agnostic approach to jets + missing energy searches at the LHC by defining kinematic bins and publishing differential cross-section limits that can be reinterpreted for any BSM model producing the same final state.
