Abstract

Study of polarization of heavy particles is an important branch of research in today's collider studies. The massive WW boson has two types of polarization states, which usually are studied via the angular distribution of its decay products. We have studied polarization of hadronic and boosted WW boson using jet substructure technique at 14 TeV LHC. Two different methods, viz. N-subjettiness and Soft Drop, were used to find the subjets, which are approximately considered to be the two hadronic decay products of WW, inside boosted WW jets. These subjets were then used to find the distribution of pθp_\theta and zjz_j to prepare the templates of longitudinally and transversely polarized WW. We then used these templates to find the fractions of different WW polarization in a mixed sample to a relatively good accuracy.
