Jet substructure, defined by observables constructed from the distribution of constituents within a jet, provides the versatility to tailor observables to specific regions of QCD radiation phase space. This flexibility provides exciting new opportunities to study jet quenching in heavy-ion collisions and to
ultimately help reveal the nature of the quark-gluon plasma. The ALICE detector is...

Abstract:
Grooming techniques, such as soft drop, play a central role in reducing sensitivity of jets to e.g. underlying event and hadronization at current collider experiments. The momentum sharing fraction zg, of the two branches in a jet that pass the soft drop condition, is one of the most important observables characterizing a collinear...
Jets are algorithmic proxies of hard scattered partons, i.e. quarks/gluons, in collisions of high energy particles. Jets derived from clustering algorithms contain information regarding the parton shower, which can be accessed via the SoftDrop algorithm and the Cambridge/Aachen de-clustering. The STAR collaboration has recently measured jet sub-structure observables in pp collisions at...
