The study of the shape and sub-structure of high p_T jets produced in hadron collisions is becoming an increasingly important component of LHC phenomenology in the context of new particle discoveries. We study here the state of the art for…
The N-jettiness event shape divides phase space into N+2 regions, each containing one jet or beam. These jet regions are insensitive to the distribution of soft radiation and, with a geometric measure for N-jettiness, have circular…
