Talk

Jet Substructure (JSS) is a critical tool in the search for new physics at the energy frontier. The large center-of-mass energy of the LHC can produce heavy new particles which subsequently would decay into very energetic SM particles. Without JSS techniques, our ability to identify decays to Vector Bosons, Higgs Bosons, or top-quarks would decrease dramatically. Also, to evade the...

The talk will report on highlights on searches for new physics with vector bosons and higgs bosons in boosted topologies at the CMS experiment

4. Stealth bosons and where to find them

Juan Antonio Aguilar-Saavedra (University of Granada)

Talk

I want to discuss jets resulting from the cascade decay of a new particle into four quarks, focusing on: (i) their substructure, which looks like QCD for standard taggers (ii) their groomed mass, which often differs considerably from the true mass of the originating particle. I also want to discuss how to distinguish such jets from the QCD background.

55. Search for supersymmetry using dedicated jet techniques with the ATLAS detector

David Miller (University of Chicago (US))

Talk

The hunt for supersymmetry at the LHC continues to probe increasingly challenging experimental final states. This talk presents recent ATLAS results that utilise boosted jet techniques, explore all-hadronic final states while searching for signs of small supersymmetric signals, or map out the landscape for non-prompt decays of heavy supersymmetric particles.

20. Highlights on searches for new physics with top quarks in boosted topologies

Talk

The extension of sensitivity for strongly-produced supersymmetry (SUSY) to increasingly higher masses makes the reconstruction and identification of boosted objects to an essential tool for current and future SUSY searches. These objects can originate from the final stage of a short decay chain, or as heavy bosons produced in a decay chain. The talk summaries the use of large-radius jets and...
