We consider within QCD collinear factorization the process p+p to jet + jet +X, where two forward high-$p_T$ jets are produced with a large separation in rapidity $\Delta y$ (Mueller-Navelet jets). In this case the (calculable) hard part of…
Conventional jet algorithms are based on a deterministic view of the underlying hard scattering process. Each outgoing parton from the hard scattering is associated with a hard, well separated jet. This approach is very successful because…
We present a complete calculation of the photon +~1 jet rate in $e^+e^-$ annihilation up to ${\cal O}(\alpha \alpha_{s})$. Although formally of next-to-leading order in perturbation theory, this calculation contains several ingredients…
We study 3-jet event topologies in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 13 {\rm\ TeV}$ in a configuration, where one jet is present in the central pseudorapidity region ($|\eta| < 2.0$) while two other jets are…

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…
We consider Trace finite element methods for the linear membrane problem on second order tetrahedral elements. To accomplish this, zero-level set reconstruction methods for second order tetrahedra are considered. For the higher order…

The leptonic decays of the heavy gauge bosons W and/or Z provide a clear experimental signature at hadron colliders. The production of accompanying jets is an excellent signal to probe QCD, while also being the main background to many…
