Fat jets for a light higgs boson.

Physical review letters 104:11 (2010) 111801

Authors:

Tilman Plehn, Gavin P Salam, Michael Spannowsky

Abstract:

At the LHC associated top quark and Higgs boson production with a Higgs boson decay to bottom quarks has long been a heavily disputed search channel. Recently, it has been found not to be viable. We show how it can be observed by tagging massive Higgs bosons and top jets. For this purpose we construct boosted top and Higgs taggers for standard-model processes in a complex QCD environment.

Discovering baryon-number violating neutralino decays at the LHC.

Physical review letters 103:24 (2009) 241803

Authors:

Jonathan M Butterworth, John R Ellis, Are R Raklev, Gavin P Salam

Abstract:

Recently there has been much interest in the use of single-jet mass and jet substructure to identify boosted particles decaying hadronically at the LHC. We develop these ideas to address the challenging case of a neutralino decaying to three quarks in models with baryonic violation of R parity. These decays have previously been found to be swamped by QCD backgrounds. We demonstrate for the first time that such a decay might be observed directly at the LHC with high significance, by exploiting characteristics of the scales at which its composite jet breaks up into subjets.
