Nuclear Physics & RIKEN Theory Seminar

"SISCone: A Practical Seedless Infrared Safe Cone Jet Algorithm"

Presented by Gregory Soyez

Tuesday, June 12, 2007, 2:00 pm — Small Seminar Room, Bldg. 510

Jet algorithms are used everywhere in today's experiments and related theoretical computations. I will start by shortly introducing the different clustering algorithms usually used, in particular, the "cone algorithm". Then, I will show that none of the existing cone algorithms satisfy the basic requirements for practical usage. I will show how that longstanding issue can be solved by introducing a new algorithm: SISCone, and investigate its physical consequences. In the last part of the talk, I will introduce the notion of "jet area" and discuss its practical applications.
