Branching structure of QCD jets: new jet observables for quark-gluon discrimination

Sumario: | I have explored the fractal nature of hadronic jets and the potential use of fractal dimension in jet substructure physics. A more sophisticated set of parameters, named Branching Logarithmic Fit (BLF) parameters, has subsequently been developed to describe the fractal and corrections-to-fractal behavior due to QCD running in the perturbative regime. Theoretical motivation is given for these parameters, which have then been applied to the problem of quark/gluon discrimination. The BLF parameters are individually discriminating and only weakly correlated to variables currently used in quark/gluon discrimination. Consequently, their inclusion should improve discrimination, and evidence is presented for this at the generator level |
