Tracking in high-density environments, such as the core of TeV jets, is particularly challenging both because combinatorics quickly diverge and because tracks may not leave anymore individual "hits" but rather large clusters of merged…
A jet algorithm must specify how to (re-)combine different partons or towers into a single four-vector. Various recombination schemes have been used experimentally to examine the transverse energy profile of jets in hadron colliders.…
We reinterpret jet clustering as an axis-finding procedure which, along with the proton beam, defines the virtual-photon transverse momentum $q_T$ in deep inelastic scattering (DIS). In this way, we are able to probe the nucleon intrinsic…
Unfolding, for example of distortions imparted by detectors, provides suitable and publishable representations of LHC data. Many methods for unbinned and high-dimensional unfolding using machine learning have been proposed, but no…

At the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) it will become possible for the first time to investigate experimentally the forward region in hadron-hadron collisions via high-$p_T$ processes. In the LHC forward kinematics QCD logarithmic corrections…
The jets are the final state manifestation of the hard parton scattering. Since at LHC energies the production of hard processes in proton-proton collisions will be copious and varied, it is important to develop methods to identify them…
Many analyses at the CERN LHC exploit the substructure of jets to identify heavy resonances produced with high momenta that decay into multiple quarks and/or gluons. This paper presents a new technique for correcting the substructure of…

It has recently been established that hadronisation corrections to QCD jets vary as $1/R$, at small $R$, for jets of radius $R$. Here we demonstrate, using jets in the $k_t$ algorithm, that the magnitude of these $1/R$ corrections are…
