Boosting LHC discovery reach with jet substructure

Speaker: Jessie Shelton, Yale University

When: October 24, 2011 (Mon), 12:30PM to 01:30PM (add to my calendar)
Location: PRB 595

This event is part of the HET Seminar Series.

Abstract: New approaches to the study of jets have changed approaches for
searches for new physics.   I will show a simple application of jet
substructure variables which extends the sensitivity of the LHC to
composite color octets, and argue that certain substructure variables
can now be considered a standard part of the toolkit used to design
searches for new physics beyond the standard model.
