Abstract

In these proceedings, we review recent theoretical progress on jet substructure at the colliders. Focusing on two observables – jet mass and groomed jet radius, we perform theoretical computations for jets measured in the single inclusive jet production in proton-proton collisions, pp → jet + X. We consider both standard ungroomed jets as well as soft-drop groomed jets. Within the Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET), we establish QCD factorization theorems which allow for the joint resummation of several classes of logarithmic corrections to all orders in the strong coupling constant. We present numerical results and compare with the available data from the LHC.

Highlights

  • At present day collider experiments such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), highly energetic jets play an important role as precision probes of the Standard Model and beyond [1]

  • We first reported the impact of the jet radius ln R resummation on the single inclusive jet cross section, and we studied groomed and ungroomed jet mass, and the soft-drop groomed jet radius

  • Within the soft-collinear effective theory, we establish QCD factorization theorems for the observables that are measured for single inclusive jet production in proton-proton collisions, pp → jet + X

Summary

Introduction

At present day collider experiments such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), highly energetic jets play an important role as precision probes of the Standard Model and beyond [1]. Jet substructure observables are increasingly being studied in heavy-ion collisions where they provide important tests and insights of the hot and dense QCD medium [5]. Jet grooming techniques can be used to isolate different aspects of jet quenching and may help to discriminate between different model assumptions. In these proceedings, we mainly review our recent studies on groomed and ungroomed jet mass distribution, and the groomed jet radius
