Colour and logarithmic accuracy in final-state parton showers

no code implementations19 Nov 2020 Keith Hamilton, Rok Medves, Gavin P. Salam, Ludovic Scyboz, Gregory Soyez

Standard dipole parton showers are known to yield incorrect subleading-colour contributions to the leading (double) logarithmic terms for a variety of observables.

Resonance Searches with an Updated Top Tagger

no code implementations19 Mar 2015 Gregor Kasieczka, Tilman Plehn, Torben Schell, Thomas Strebler, Gavin P. Salam

The performance of top taggers, for example in resonance searches, can be significantly enhanced through an increased set of variables, with a special focus on final-state radiation.

Giant QCD K-factors beyond NLO

1 code implementation10 Jun 2010 Mathieu Rubin, Gavin P. Salam, Sebastian Sapeta

Hadronic observables in Z+jet events can be subject to large NLO corrections at TeV scales, with K-factors that even reach values of order 50 in some cases.

Towards Jetography

1 code implementation10 Jun 2009 Gavin P. Salam

As the LHC prepares to start taking data, this review is intended to provide a QCD theorist's understanding and views on jet finding at hadron colliders, including recent developments.

The anti-k_t jet clustering algorithm

1 code implementation8 Feb 2008 Matteo Cacciari, Gavin P. Salam, Gregory Soyez

The k_t and Cambridge/Aachen inclusive jet finding algorithms for hadron-hadron collisions can be seen as belonging to a broader class of sequential recombination jet algorithms, parametrised by the power of the energy scale in the distance measure.

Dispelling the N^3 myth for the Kt jet-finder

1 code implementation16 Dec 2005 Matteo Cacciari, Gavin P. Salam

At high-energy colliders, jets of hadrons are the observable counterparts of the perturbative concepts of quarks and gluons.
