Calculating the distribution of jet masses in high-energy collisions is challenging because fixed-order perturbation theory breaks down near the peak region, and because multiple scales complicate the resummation. To avoid using a jet veto,…
We construct jet observables for energetic top quarks that can be used to determine a short distance top quark mass from reconstruction in e+ e- collisions with accuracy better than Lambda_{QCD}. Using a sequence of effective field theories…
Invariant mass spectra for jets reconstructed using the anti-kt and Cambridge-Aachen algorithms are studied for different jet "grooming" techniques in data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5 inverse femtobarns, recorded with the…
We study the modifications of jets created in heavy-ion collisions at LHC energies. The inherent hierarchy of scales governing the jet evolution allows to distinguish a leading jet structure, which interacts coherently with the medium as a…
Scalar particles that couple to two up quarks may be produced at the LHC even if they are ultraheavy, in the $8-10$ TeV mass range. A renormalizable theory that includes a diquark particle of this type ($S_{uu}$), two vectorlike quarks…
We present a description of the production of a di-lepton pair (through Z boson and virtual photon) in association with at least two jets. This calculation adds to the fixed-order accuracy the dominant logarithms in the limit of large…
Many new physics models with strongly interacting sectors predict a mass hierarchy between the lightest vector meson and the lightest pseudoscalar mesons. We examine the power of jet substructure tools to extend the 7 TeV LHC sensitivity to…

The CMS Collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has observed two four-jet events with a total invariant mass of about 8 TeV; within each event, the jets can be paired into two dijets with invariant masses of 2 TeV each. These are…
Measurements of inclusive jet and dijet cross sections in photoproduction and deep inelastic scattering are presented. These measurements provide new tests of QCD, constrain the parton densities of the proton and the photon, and allow the…
The uncertainty in jet energy scale is one of the dominating systematic errors for many measurements at hadron colliders - most notably for the measurement of the top-quark-mass, inclusive jet cross section measurements and last but not…
The recent diphoton excess at the LHC has been explained tentatively by a Standard Model (SM) singlet scalar of 750 GeV in mass, in the association of heavy particles with SM gauge charges. These new particles with various SM gauge charges…
The High Energy Jets (HEJ) framework accounts for large logarithms arising from the wide angle hard gluon emissions. The resummation in HEJ is based on an approximation to allow fast evaluation for arbitrary multiplicity. The approximation…

We demonstrate the consistency at the next-to-leading-logarithmic (NLL) level of a factorization theorem based on Soft-Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) for jet shapes in e+e- collisions. We consider measuring jet observables in exclusive…
New light scalar particles in the mass range of hundreds of GeV, decaying into a pair of $W/Z$ bosons can appear in several extensions of the SM. The focus of collider studies for such a scalar is often on its direct production, where the…

Studying the substructure of jets has become a powerful tool for event discrimination and for studying QCD. Typically, jet substructure studies rely on Monte Carlo simulation for vetting their usefulness; however, when possible, it is also…
The utility of jet spectroscopy at the LHC is compromised by the existence of multiple interactions within a bunch crossing. The energy deposits from these interactions at the design luminosity of the LHC may degrade the dijet mass…
