Oral Presentation QCD & Heavy Ions QCD & Heavy Ions

Speaker

Dr Yang-Ting Chien (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)

Description

I will review recent advances of tools that help improve the performance and analytic understanding of boosted object tagging and background mitigation. I will also discuss the fast developing fields of heavy ion jet substructure studies and machine learning applications at high energy colliders. In the end I will discuss a new class of collinear drop observables which allows systematic studies of soft radiation inside jets.
