Substructure of high-p_T Jets at the LHC
read the original abstract
We study high-pt jets from QCD and from highly-boosted massive particles such as tops, W, Z and Higgs, and argue that infrared-safe observables can help reduce QCD backgrounds. Jets from QCD are characterized by different patterns of energy flow compared to the products of highly-boosted heavy particle decays, and we employ a variety of jet shapes, observables restricted to energy flow within a jet, to explore this difference. Results from Monte Carlo generators and arguments based on perturbation theory support the discriminating power of the shapes we refer to as planar flow and angularities. We emphasize that for massive jets, these and other observables can be analyzed perturbatively.

Probing flavor effects in the QCD parton shower using $\mathbf{{\rm D}^0}$-tagged jet angularities in proton$-$proton collisions at $\mathbf{ \sqrt{s} = 5.02}$ TeV
First measurement of D0-tagged jet angularities in pp collisions at 5.02 TeV shows smaller values at low angular weight, consistent with the QCD dead-cone effect for massive quarks.
