Description

Theoretical calculations for jet substructure observables with accuracy beyond leading-logarithm have recently become available. Such well-understood observables provide novel probes of QCD in a new, collinear regime at the LHC. In this talk, measurements by the ATLAS, CMS, ALICE and LHCb collaborations of such jet substructure observables are presented. These measurements may be performed in a variety of topologies, and may be unfolded to particle-level to make comparisons with Monte Carlo simulations and analytical calculations.
