I
am working on further developing a recently published method for resumming
radiative corrections related to the hard emissions giving rise to jet
production, but including also the leading virtual corrections. In this way,
fully inclusive (i.e. not a priory confined to a specific number of jets)
event samples can be constructed, while allowing for fully exclusive
analyses. The formalism has so far been applied to production of a Higgs
boson in association with jets, we are currently extending the analysis to
W/Z+jets and pure jets, while also improving the underlying resummation. |

The
goal of my Ph.D. is the measurement of the inclusive jet cross section with
the first data taken at LHC. I am working to check the jet energy scale
calibration in the high pT region for the ATLAS experiment. The technique that I am studying relies on the
reconstruction of jet pairs on the same side of the event and is sensitive to
the description of hard multi-jet configurations, to split-merge effects of
different jet algorithms, as well as to how reliably the generators can
predict energy- and particle-flows in the inter-jet region. I am doing part
of these studies within the MC Network. I will study the influence of event
generators, particularly hadronization and underlying event effects on these
jet-physics aspects. Summary: SM and NLO Multi-leg: IR-safe jet algorithms
Tools and Monte Carlos: Monte Carlos and Tuning Validity of tunes and
Uncertainty Bands Tuning in the presence of matching Jets and Energy Flows:

SM
and NLO Multi-leg Tools and Monte Carlos I am strongly involved in some of
the SM studies in CMS experiment where we need to take into account the
higher order processes in our measurements, like Drell-Yan, W-gamma, Z+jets
etc.. At the same time, experimentalists don't have many tools at hand which
can be used directly for simulation purposes for example various models for
Invisible Higgs. At the same time I would like to learn about new packages
and how to integrate new package (eg., Baur Wgamma) within a standard event
generator (eg.,Pythia) while avoiding
the issue of double counting. |
