* 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. | ||
