Towards an Understanding of the Correlations in Jet Substructure

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.

Jet Dipolarity: Top Tagging with Color Flow

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.

Bigger, Better, Faster, More at the LHC

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.

Model-Independent Jets plus Missing Energy Searches

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.
