We introduce a new class of event shapes to characterize the jet-like structure of an event. Like traditional event shapes, our observables are infrared/collinear safe and involve a sum over all hadrons in an event, but like a jet…

The Large Hadron Collider, LHC, collides bunches of protons resulting in multiple interactions that occur practically simultaneously. This creates a pileup effect that distorts physics measurements due to the products of pileup collisions.…

Jet quenching is one of the major discoveries of the heavy-ion program at RHIC. While there is a wealth of data from RHIC that will soon be supplemented with measurements at the LHC, on the theoretical side the situation is less clear. A…

A new approach to jet-shape identification based on linear regression is discussed. It is designed for searches for new particles at the TeV scale decaying hadronically with strongly collimated jets. We illustrate the method using a Monte…
We propose a new model-independent method for new physics searches called Cluster Scanning. It uses the k-means algorithm to perform clustering in the space of low-level event or jet observables, and separates potentially anomalous clusters…
This paper explores the physics reach of the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) for searches of new particles decaying to two jets. We discuss inclusive searches in dijets and b-jets, as well as searches in semi-inclusive events…
Jet modification in heavy-ion collisions provides microscopic access to the properties of the quark-gluon plasma. However, conventional approaches based on traditional global observables, such as \(R_{AA}\), capture limited information…
We develop an algorithm based on an interaction network to identify high-transverse-momentum Higgs bosons decaying to bottom quark-antiquark pairs and distinguish them from ordinary jets that reflect the configurations of quarks and gluons…
We present a next-to-leading order QCD calculation for the single-inclusive production of collimated jets at hadron colliders, when the jet is defined by maximizing a suitable jet function that depends on the momenta of final-state…
The precise reconstruction of jet transverse momenta in heavy-ion collisions is a challenging task. A major obstacle is the large number of (mainly) low-$p_{\rm T}$ particles overlaying the jets. Strong region-to-region fluctuations of this…

Searches for new hadronic resonances typically focus on high-mass spectra, due to overwhelming QCD backgrounds and detector trigger rates. We present a study of searches for relatively low-mass hadronic resonances at the LHC in the case…
We study jet angularity measurements for single-inclusive jet production at the LHC. Jet angularities depend on a continuous parameter $a$ allowing for a smooth interpolation between different traditional jet shape observables. We establish…
