Sources of Top-Jets
• The Standard Model• Top resonances
– Z’ -> tt, g’ -> tt, G’ -> tt
• Top partners / SUSY– t’ -> th / tZ– b’ -> tW– t -> t 0
• Top-Higgsstrahlung– high-energy tt->tth

Intermediate-Boost Tops at ILC?
hemisphere top-jet
ME
may even be relevant for organizing event information closer to top pair threshold…treat the entire event as one “ditop-jet”

Angular Scales in Top Decay
• Typical LHC jet size
– R ~ 0.4 - 0.7
• HCAL cells– R ~ 0.1
• ECAL cells– R ~ 0.02
• Tracker– R ~ 0.001
![Page 7: Top Tagging Brock Tweedie Boston University 20 March 2011](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e745503460f94b74937/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
So What?
• QCD is our enemy– collinear splittings => easy to get several
“hard” partons emitted into a small solid angle
– jet mass ~ sqrt(s)*pT*R ~ 100 GeV
![Page 8: Top Tagging Brock Tweedie Boston University 20 March 2011](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e745503460f94b74937/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
So What?
• QCD is our enemy– All jets are full of junk!– Size too large compared to R => messed-up

Top-Tag Tactics• Y-Splitter: Brooijmans
– cluster jets with kT algorithm, decluster 2 or 3 stages and study (dimensionful) splitting scales– evolved into the ATLAS top-tagger
• Thaler & Wang– cluster jets with anti-kT algorithm, exclusively recluster with kT into 3 “subjets” and apply multibody
kinematic cuts• Hopkins: Kaplan, Rehermann, Schwartz, Tweedie
– cluster jets with Cambridge/Aachen algorithm, decluster recursively until 3 or 4 subjets are found and apply multibody kinematic cuts
– evolved into the CMS top-tagger• Jet Shapes: Almeida, Lee, Perez, Sterman, Sung, Virzi
– angularities, planar flow, etc• Pruning: Ellis, Vermilion, Walsh
– selective jet clustering removes junk and self-organizes substructure simultaneously• HEP Tagger: Plehn, Spannowsky, Takeuchi, Zerwas
– decluster into arbitrary # subjets, sophisticated kinematic discrimination– works with for large top-jets with additional activity inside
• Template Overlap: Almeida, Lee, Perez, Sterman, Sung– calorimeter cell pattern -> multidimensional vector– check dot products with ensembles of template top-jets and QCD-jets
• N-Subjettiness: Thaler and Van Tilberg– continuous scores assigned for mono-subjet-like, di-subjet-like, tri-subjet-like, etc
• Dipolarity: Hook, Jankowiak, Wacker– improved discrimination using observables sensitive to color connections

Cambridge/Aachen Jet Clustering
• Sequentially sum up nearest-neighbor 4-vectors in the plane
• Stop when all 4-vectors are distanced by more than a prespecified R

Backgrounds to All-Hadronic Resonance Search
PYTHIA 6.4 continuum QCD and top pair (LO + parton shower)

Improving the Tag?
• All taggers (mostly) use the coarsest level of detector information, HCAL @ R ~ 0.1
• Folding in full ECAL & tracker info may allow further improvements at pT > 1 TeV
![Page 29: Top Tagging Brock Tweedie Boston University 20 March 2011](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e745503460f94b74937/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Substructure at ILC or CLIC?
• No UE, no ISR– almost all radiation in the jet is meaningful
• Color singlet machine => “lepton+jets” backgrounds are of a very different quality– e.g., Wq, Wg absent– W+jets still there, but much lower rate
• Clearly useful for all-hadronic search channels (q-qbar backgrounds)
• Suggests intelligent strategies to recover “parton-level” top decay kinematics from final-state hadrons, and more detailed aspects of how tops decay with full QCD
![Page 30: Top Tagging Brock Tweedie Boston University 20 March 2011](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e745503460f94b74937/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Summary
• Lots of ideas to beat QCD and identify top jets at the LHC– ~40% tag rates vs few % mistags– hopefully improvable
• Forces us to consider novel ways to organize the activity in a region of a detector– circling interesting patches with fixed size ->
adaptively clustering interesting hotspots• So far mistag rates look sane in data• Potential relevance for ILC or CLIC
– intermediate-boost tops– precision top-jets?
