QCD corrections to $e^+e^- \ra WW \ra q_1 \bar q_1 q_2 \bar q_2$ are computed and presented in a form which allows to impose realistic cuts on the structure of the observed events. QCD radiation substantially modifies the jet--jet invariant…
We study the reconstruction of high p_T hadronically-decaying top quarks at the LHC. The main challenge in identifying energetic top quarks is that the decay products become increasingly collimated. This reduces the efficacy of conventional…
Jets are suppressed and modified in heavy ion collisions, which serve as powerful probes to the properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). Attributed to the abundant information carried by the jet constituents and reconstructed…
Far above threshold the production process e^+e^-to t t-bar can be analyzed using effective field theories. In this talk we consider the invariant mass distribution of top-jets and report about our computation of the two-loop heavy quark…
The next-to-leading-order electroweak corrections to $pp\to l^+l^-/\bar\nu\nu+\gamma+X$ production, including all off-shell effects of intermediate Z bosons in the complex-mass scheme, are calculated for LHC energies, revealing the…
For the "stealth bosons" $S$, light boosted particles with a decay $S \to A A \to q \bar q q \bar q$ into four quarks and reconstructed as a single fat jet, the groomed jet mass has a strong correlation with groomed jet substructure…
We present calculations of Higgs boson production via gluon-gluon fusion in association with one or two additional jets at next-to-leading order in QCD. The calculation of H+jet is exact in the treatment of the top-quark mass, whereas for…
Studies of highly-boosted top quarks produced inclusively in pp collisions at 14 TeV are discussed. The hadronic decays of boosted top quarks was studied in a data-driven approach by analysing shapes of jet-mass distributions. Using Monte…
We present a next-to-leading order QCD calculation of the production rates of jets containing heavy quarks. This calculation is performed using the standard Snowmass jet algorithm; it therefore allows a comparison with similar results known…
We calculate the massless quark jet function to three-loop order. The quark jet function is a universal ingredient in SCET factorization for many collider and decay processes with quark initiated final state jets. Our three-loop result…
Theoretical issues are discussed for the measurement of the top-mass using jets, including perturbative and non-perturbative effects that relate experimental observables to the Lagrangian mass, and appropriate choices for mass schemes. Full…
We present a comprehensive study of energy correlation functions and jet angularities for heavy-flavour QCD jets. In particular, we discuss the possibility of using these observables to expose the dead cone effect, i.e. the suppression of…
Quark mass effects in ${\cal O}(\alpha_s^2)$ QCD corrections to the decay rates of intermediate Higgs bosons are studied. The total hadronic rate and the partial decay rate into bottom quarks are analyzed for the Standard (scalar) Higgs…
A search is reported for massive resonances decaying into a quark and a vector boson (W or Z), or two vector bosons (WW, WZ, or ZZ). The analysis is performed on an inclusive sample of multijet events corresponding to an integrated…
Quark-gluon decays of heavy paraquarkonia $^1 S_0(\bar Q Q) \to \bar q q g$ are investigated with account of the masses of final quarks. The decay widths and the energy distributions of the final quarks and gluons are calculated in…
We discuss hard rescattering effects that can be measured using CP-even, T$_{\rm N}$-odd triple-product observables in polarized $Z$ decays to three jets. We show that the standard model contributions, from both QCD and electroweak…
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 the calculation of the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the production of a $t\bar{t}$ pair in association with two heavy-flavour jets. We concentrate on the di-lepton $t\bar{t}$ decay channel at the LHC with…
We compute in the heavy quark effective theory the soft coefficient D_2 entering the resummation of next-to-next-to-leading threshold logarithms for jets initiated by a quark with a small mass compared to the hard scale of the process. We…
We present three measurements of the top-quark mass in the lepton plus jets channel with approximately 1.9 fb-1 of integrated luminosity collected with the CDF II detector using quantities with minimal dependence on the jet energy scale.…
