Top Jets and Hints of New Physics

Top Jets and Hints of New Physics

One main challenge in identifying highly energetic massive particles that decay into hadrons is that the decay products become increasingly collimated. I will discuss previous studies on high-pt jets for highly boosted massive particles such as the top, W/Z and Higgs; and howwe can exploit the different patterns of energy flow todistinguishthem from jets from light quarks and gluons.I will also discuss how suchobservables may play a role in understanding current anomalies atthe Tevatron.
