* ATLAS A14 tune already uses jet shapes, and finds that alpha_s has to be tuned downward in Pythia 8. This, however, has a detrimental effect on LEP measurements, so one has to be cautious about this. | * ATLAS A14 tune already uses jet shapes, and finds that alpha_s has to be tuned downward in Pythia 8.

+ | ==== Hemisphere quark/gluon definitions in e+e- ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Consider the case of e+ e- -> q qbar. Partition event into (thrust) hemisphere, define hemisphere flavor by summing over flavors of hemisphere constituents. | ||
+ | * At LO, we can unambiguously define hemisphere flavors. | ||
+ | * At NLO, we can also unambiguously define flavor via hemisphere, though there is now a small gluon fraction from gluon recoiling against q qbar pair. | ||
+ | * At NNLO, things are more complicated. | ||
+ | * Can have soft gluon splitting into q-qbar in different hemispheres, creates IRC safety issue. | ||
+ | * One can use a flavored algorithm (BSZ) to define the flavour of two flavor-kt jets | ||
+ | * Ultimately, want to give an operational definition of flavor based on the Born-level operator contributing to the process. | ||
+ | * Claim: all subtleties are formally power suppressed. | ||
+ | * Use case, VBF, two jets with a third jet veto, q/g well-defined in the exclusive limit. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Flavored Jet Algorithms ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * This is a topic worthy of its own Les Houches study. | ||
+ | * For pp collisions, multiple possible uses of flavored jet algorithms. | ||
+ | * One can just run flavor-kT | ||
+ | * Or one can run flavor-kT to define flavor ghosts, and run standard anti-kT. | ||
+ | * Or one can run flavor-kT for deflavoring constituents, and then run standard anti-kT. | ||

+ | ==== Questions ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Is discrimination power (e.g. for width) coming from the hadronization regime? | ||
+ | * Possibility: Isolate hadronization regime (thrust ~ LambdaQCD/Q) and shower regime (thrust ~ 0.1-0.2) and optionally hard jet regime (thrust >~ 0.25). Study scaling of, e.g., multiplicity as a function of Q in each of these regimes. | ||
+ | * By testing pythia vs. herwig, can we test string vs. cluster hadronization? | ||
+ | * Is there jet radius dependence? | ||
+ | * Does matching help in controlling quark/gluon uncertainties? | ||
+ | * Universality/process dependence of conclusions? | ||
+ | * Related to whether the discrimination power comes from the core or the periphery of jet. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Next Les Houches Study (for after LH) ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Above study at hadron colliders, using dijets, W/Z/gamma + j, and maybe t tbar samples | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Analytic Les Houches Study? ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Analytic predictions known/available/straightforward for: | ||
+ | * Quark thrust: N^3LL' + N^3L0 | ||
+ | * Gluon thrust: N^2LL' + N^2L0 | ||
+ | * ang (kappa =1): NLL' | ||
+ | * Can we do useful quark/gluon study from analytic results? | ||

+ | ==== What is a Quark Jet? ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | (From ill-defined to well-defined) | ||
+ | |||
+ | * A quark parton | ||
+ | * A Born-level quark parton | ||
+ | * The initiating quark parton in a final state shower | ||
+ | * An eikonal line with baryon number 1/3 and carrying triplet color charge | ||
+ | * A quark operator that appears in a hard matrix element in the context of a factorization theorem. | ||
+ | * A parton-level jet object that has been tagged as a quark using a soft-safe flavored jet algorithm (automatically collinear safe if you sum constituent flavors). | ||
+ | * A phase space region (as defined by an unambiguous hadronic fiducial cross section measurement) that yields an enriched sample of quarks (as interpreted by some suitable, though fundamentally ambiguous, criterion). | ||
+ | | ||
+ | (Sometimes people think we care about the top of the list while we are really focused entirely on the bottom.) |
