    We present tools developed by CMS for LHC Run II designed for pileup mitigation in the context of jets, MET, lepton isolation, and substructure tagging variables. Pileup mitigation techniques of "Pileup per particle ID" (PUPPI), and pileup jet identification are presented in detail along with the validation in data.

    In order to study hadronic final states, it is of utmost importance to consider the inputs used when building jets, and the definition of the jet reconstruction procedure. These fundamental choices of how to build jets have wide-reaching implications, from pileup stability to the precision of the resulting jet energy scale to the ability to tag and identify hadronic decays encapsulated within...

    Jet substructure variables for hadronic jets with transverse momenta in the range from 2.5 TeV to 20 TeV were studied using several designs for the spatial size of calorimeter cells. The studies used the full Geant4 simulation of calorimeter response combined with realistic reconstruction of calorimeter clusters. In most cases, the results indicate that the performance of jet-substructure...

    Hard scattered partons produced in collision of heavy ions are modified when propagating through the hot and dense medium of deconfined quarks and gluons known as the Quark Gluon Plasma.

    When are two collider events similar?

    Jet reconstruction analyses at the high-luminosity phase of the LHC will face a similar challenge as current heavy-ion studies: how to mitigate the impact of the overwhelming and fluctuating energy coming from unrelated soft interactions (pileup/underlying event) on physical observables.

    We study the local properties of hadronic event activities using leptonic decaying Z bosons. We use the dimuon events in 8 TeV pp collisions from CMS open data, and we define the "leptonic Z jet" by enclosing particles within an angle R from the Z or by using standard jet clustering algorithms. A new hadronic observable called Z drop is defined which allows us to probe underlying events and...

    How to represent a jet is at the core of machine learning on jet physics.

Such particle cloud representation of jets is efficient in incorporating raw information of jets and also explicitly respects the permutation symmetry....

    Classification of jets with deep learning has gained significant attention in recent times. However, the performance of deep neural networks is often achieved at the cost of interpretability. Here we propose an interpretable network trained on the jet spectrum $S_{2}(R)$ which is a two-point correlation function of the jet constituents. The spectrum can be derived from a functional Taylor...

    Despite the successful application of deep learning to many problems involving jet substructure, typical approaches involve representing jets either as lists of four-vectors or as 2D images.

However, these networks fail to exhibit equivariance with respect to...

    Monte Carlo event generators remain an indispensable tool in the reconstruction of boosted objects.

    Jet substructure variables for hadronic jets with transverse momenta in the range from 2.5 TeV to 20 TeV were studied using several designs for the spatial size of calorimeter cells. The studies used the full Geant4 simulation of calorimeter response combined with realistic reconstruction of calorimeter clusters. In most cases, the results indicate that the performance of jet-substructure...

    Based on the established task of identifying boosted, hadronically decaying top quarks, we compare a wide range of modern machine learning approaches. We find that they are extremely powerful and great fun.

    We apply techniques from Bayesian generative statistical modeling to uncover hidden features in jet substructure observables that discriminate between different a priori unknown underlying short distance physical processes in multi-jet events. In particular, we use a mixed membership model known as Latent Dirichlet Allocation to build a data-driven unsupervised top-quark tagger and ttbar event...
