Jets are extended multipartonic systems and serve as a powerful tool for investigating the dynamics of emergent phenomena driven by many body QCD interactions. In heavy ion collisions, starting from their production during the perturbative…
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…
From dedicated QCD studies to new physics background estimation, jets will be everywhere at the LHC. In these proceedings, we discuss two important recent series of improvements. In the first one, we introduce new algorithms and new…
The four major approximation schemes devised to study the modification of jets in dense matter are outlined. The comparisons are restricted to basic assumptions and approximations made in each case and the calculation methodology used.…
We investigate a potential of measuring properties of a heavy resonance X, exploiting jet substructure techniques. Motivated by heavy higgs boson searches, we focus on the decays of X into a pair of (massive) electroweak gauge bosons. More…
We extend the work of [1] to the case in which final-state jets, produced in association with a Higgs or vector boson, are defined using the $k_t$ algorithm. We thereby compute the full distribution of the invariant mass squared of the…
High velocity jets are among the most prominent features of a wide class of planetary nebulae, but their origins are not understood. Several different types of physical model have been suggested to power the jets, but there is no consensus…
A method is developed for calculating the jet mass distribution at hadron colliders using an expansion about the kinematic threshold. In particular, we consider the mass distribution of jets of size R produced in association with a hard…

Within the framework of general relativity, we investigate the tidal acceleration of astrophysical jets relative to the central collapsed configuration ("Kerr source"). We neglect electromagnetic forces throughout. The rest frame of the…

The production of $W$/$Z$-bosons in association with jets is an important test of perturbative QCD predictions and also yields information about the parton distribution functions of the proton. We present fits to determine PDFs using…
We report on potential for measurement of W and Z boson production accompanied by jets. Of particular interest are jet multiplicity and $P_{\rm T}$ distributions. The 10 to 100 $pb^{-1}$ datasets expected in the startup year of operation of…
Jet quenching has been established as one of the main tools to study the properties of the medium produced in heavy ion collisions. Most of the experimental effort has been, up to now, on the measurements of inclusive particle suppression.…
New particles at the TeV-scale may have sizeable decay rates into boosted Higgs bosons or other heavy scalars. Here, we investigate the possibility of identifying such processes when the Higgs/scalar subsequently decays into a pair of W…
We derive a factorization theorem for the jet mass distribution with a given $p_T^J$ for the inclusive production, where $p_T^J$ is a large jet transverse momentum. Considering the small jet radius limit $(R\ll 1)$ we factorize the…
Many analyses at the collider utilize the hadronic jets that are the footprints of QCD partons. These are used both to study the QCD processes themselves and increasingly as tools to study other physics, for example top mass reconstruction.…
A new algorithm for jet finding in hadronic collisions is presented. The algorithm, based on a Gaussian filter in $(\eta,\phi)$, is specifically intended for use in heavy ion collisions and/or for detectors with limited acceptance. The…
