Events with vector bosons produced in association with jets have been extensively studied at hadron colliders and provide high-accuracy tests of the Standard Model. A good understanding of these processes is of paramount importance for…
A theory is presented for wave-driven propulsion of floating bodies driven into oscillation at the fluid interface. By coupling the equations of motion of the body to a quasi-potential flow model of the fluid, we derive expressions for the…

We identify the optimal measurement for obtaining information about the original quantum state after the state to be measured has undergone partial decoherence due to noise. We quantify the information that can be obtained by the…
Maximizing the precision in estimating parameters in a quantum system subject to instrumentation constraints is cast as a convex optimization problem. We account for prior knowledge about the parameter range by developing a worst-case and…
We define jet transition values for the anti-$k_{\bot}$ algorithm for both hadron and $e^+e^-$ colliders. We show how these transition values can be computed and how they can be used to improve the performance of clusterization when jet…
Two main classes of jet clustering algorithms, cone and k_t, are briefly discussed. It is argued that the former can be often cumbersome to define and implement, and difficult to analyze in terms of its behaviour with respect to soft and…

We prove the $L^2$ extension theorem for jets with optimal estimate following the method of Berndtsson-Lempert. For this purpose, following Demailly's construction, we consider Hermitian metrics on jet vector bundles.
In this work, the design and execution of an experiment with the goal of demonstrating control over the evolution of a copper jet is described. Simulations show that when using simple multi-material buffers placed between a copper target…
Many Beyond the Standard Model searches at ATLAS employ jets to simplify event reconstruction. These jets cluster particle shower products into calculable objects, which are then used to obtain information about parent particles. Large-R (R…
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…
