SUMMARY:Jet Substructure at the LHC:Techniques\, Tools\, and Tests (plus a 
	little Theory)
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Christopher Vermillion\, University of Louisville\n\n
	Part of the HET Seminar Series.\n\nAbstract:\nI explore many aspects of jet
	 substructure at the Large Hadron Collider\, ranging from theoretical techn
	iques for jet calculations\, to phenomenological tools for better searches 
	with jets\, to software tools for implementing and comparing such tools. I 
	will touch briefly on an application of soft-collinear effective theory\, a
	n effective theory of QCD applied to high-energy quarks and gluons.  I will
	 highlight work in which we demonstrate factorization and logarithmic resum
	mation for a certain class of observables at electron-positron collisions. 
	I will then discuss various phenomenological aspects of jet substructure in
	 simulated events\, and suggest a method for improving searches for heavy p
	articles that decay to one or more jets.  Finally\, I give a quick overview
	 of the software tools available for these kinds of studies\, with a focus 
	on SpartyJet\, a package for implementing and comparing jet-based analyses 
	I have collaborated on.  I will conclude with some thoughts on how to test 
	jet substructure techniques in early data at the LHC.
