Description

When the LHC turns back on, the amount of overlapping events will be significantly higher than anywhere seen to date. This fact, coupled with the higher energy for each event, will lead to an almost uniform spray of energy from underlying events, which will cloud any interesting physics events. In this talk we demonstrate why this is a large issue for physics moving forwards, and a potential solution. This solution will be a framework for a jet algorithm, which will be refined in the future.
