Les Houches 2013: Physics at TeV Colliders: Standard Model Working Group Report
- 2014
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This Report summarizes the proceedings of the 2013 Les Houches workshop on Physics at TeV Colliders. Session 1 dealt primarily with (1) the techniques for calculating standard model multi-leg NLO and NNLO QCD and NLO EW cross sections and (2) the comparison of those cross sections with LHC data from Run 1, and projections for future measurements in Run 2.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This report of the BOOST2012 workshop presents the results of four working groups that studied key aspects of jet substructure. We discuss the potential of first-principle QCD calculations to yield a precise description of the substructure of jets and study the accuracy of state-of-the-art Monte Carlo tools. Limitations of the experiments' ability to resolve substructure are evaluated, with a focus on the impact of additional (pile-up) proton proton collisions on jet substructure performance in future LHC operating scenarios. A final section summarizes the lessons learnt from jet substructure analyses in searches for new physics in the production of boosted top quarks.

A QCD description of the ATLAS jet veto measurement

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We present a new QCD description of the ATLAS jet veto measurement, using the Banfi-Marchesini-Smye equation to constrain the interjet QCD radiation. This equation resums emissions of soft gluons at large angles, at leading-logarithmic accuracy, and accounts for both the so-called Sudakov and nonglobal logarithms. We show that this approach is able to reproduce, with no fitting parameters, the fraction of high-p(T) forward-backward dijet events which do not contain additional hard emissions in the interjet rapidity range. We also compute the gap fraction in fixed-order perturbation theory to O(alpha(2)(s)) and show that the perturbative series is unstable at large rapidity intervals.
