An infrared and collinear (IRC) safe definition of the partonic flavour of a jet is vital for precision predictions of quantum chromodynamics at colliders. Jet flavour definitions have been presented in the literature, but they are typically defined through modification of the jet algorithm to be sensitive to partonic flavour at every stage of the clustering. While this does ensure that the sum of flavours in a jet is IRC safe, a flavour-sensitive clustering procedure is difficult to apply to realistic data. We introduce a distinct and novel approach to jet flavour that can be applied to any collection of partons defined by any algorithm. Our definition of jet flavour is the sum of flavours of all partons that remain after Soft Drop grooming, reclustered with the Jade algorithm. We prove that this prescription is IRC safe through next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO), and so can interface with the most precise fixed-order calculations for jets available at present. We validate the IRC safety of this definition with numeric fixed-order codes and further show that jet flavour with Soft Drop reclustered with a generalised kT algorithm fails to be IRC safe at NNLO.

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Adding leading-power quark-mass effects makes standard anti-kT b-jet flavour tagging infrared-collinear-safe through NNLO without changing jet or flavour definitions, up to power corrections.

  2. Simplex Demixing: Disentangling Multiple Light-Flavor Jets at Colliders

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Simplex demixing recovers T mutually irreducible jet-flavor topics from M mixed samples via the (T−1)-simplex geometry of a multi-category classifier, demonstrated on Pythia dijets.

  3. Heavy Quark Pair Energy Correlators: From Profiling Partonic Splittings to Probing Heavy-Flavor Fragmentation

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Heavy-flavor energy-energy correlators isolate the gluon to heavy quark-antiquark splitting and are predicted to be sensitive to medium modifications and anisotropic quark-gluon plasma structure.

  4. Precise Predictions for Event Shapes in Hadronic Higgs Decays

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    First NNLO QCD predictions for six classical event-shape distributions and soft-drop thrust in hadronic Higgs decays, for both H to b bbar and H to gg channels.

  5. Heavy Flavor Jet Substructure at Lepton Colliders

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    NLL-accurate predictions for heavy-flavor energy correlation functions and jet angularities in e+e- collisions show all tested Monte Carlo generators overestimate the dead-cone suppression.
