SUMMARY:Jets Without Jets
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Jesse Thaler\, MIT\nHosted by: Tulika Bose\, Martin S
	chmaltz\n\nPart of the HEE Seminar Series.\n\nAbstract:\nJets a play a key 
	role at the LHC both for testing the standard model and for searching for n
	ew phenomena.  Traditionally\, jet studies have been based on jet algorithm
	s which cluster final-state particles into unique jet objects.  In this tal
	k\, I present an alternative way to think about jets\, by showing how a bro
	ad class of jet-based observables can be replaced by closed-form event shap
	es.  These event shapes do not require any kind of jet clustering\, but the
	y still involve a jet-like radius R and a jet-like pT cut.  I will discuss 
	various applications of these event shapes\, including non-integer jet coun
	ting\, trigger-level event selection\, pile-up mitigation\, and jet substru
	cture.  Along the way\, I will suggest how traditional jet studies might be
	 improved by using a new winner-take-all approach to jet clustering.
