Abdesselam, A. et al. (2011) Boosted objects: a probe of beyond the standard model physics. European Physical Journal C, 71(6), p. 1661. (doi: 10.1140/epjc/s10052-011-1661-y)

Abstract

We present the report of the hadronic working group of the BOOST2010 workshop held at the University of Oxford in June 2010. The first part contains a review of the potential of hadronic decays of highly boosted particles as an aid for discovery at the LHC and a discussion of the status of tools developed to meet the challenge of reconstructing and isolating these topologies. In the second part, we present new results comparing the performance of jet grooming techniques and top tagging algorithms on a common set of benchmark channels. We also study the sensitivity of jet substructure observables to the uncertainties in Monte Carlo predictions.
