Description

We calculate quark and gluon jet fraction in multi-jet final states at the LHC, which is based on perturbative QCD at next-to-double logarithmic accuracy. We find a measurable scaling pattern of the fraction. This is related to a performance of new physics searches using quark-gluon jet discrimination in multi-jet final states, and would be useful for more understanding of QCD and tuning of Monte-Carlo generators. We also introduce a variable which is related to jet flavors in multi-jet final states, and propose a data-driven method using the variable to reduce systematic uncertainties of the analysis. We show how the background rejection using the method increase for signals which produce many quark jets.
