What is a jet? The output of a jet finding algorithm.
⇒ need to be defined such that they sensibly find something corresponding to a collimated spray of particles with partonic origin
Jets (or jet algorithms) are the bullies of the event! Don’t need to worry about
⇒ dijets are in fact a very clean topology!

Jets should be intrinsically sensitive to pile-up.

⇒ pile-up is a potential hurdle; suddenly “isolation”, fakes and vertex reconstruction could start to matter!

Imagine we could measure
Then we could correct for it!

Corrects the jet 4-vector to the particle level scale. Both the energy and direction are calibrated. Based on tracking and muon activity behind jets. Reduces flavour dependence and energy leakage effects. A final residual calibration is derived using in-situ measurements and is applied only to data

Recall the method: invariant mass and angular distributions of the hardest
jet pair (dijet), with moderate cuts.
QCD is an overwhelming background! Make use of the knowledge:

Angular distribution search:
At high mjj
discovery (or else, limit setting) ⇒ sensitive to wide or non-resonant phenomena
Mass resonance search:
(suppress QCD)
“only” on good fit function choice
in mjj ⇒ discovery, or, limit setting ⇒ sensitive to narrow resonances (fit swallows other deviations)
Maximise discovery potential by exploiting this complementarity!

The fit is an evolution of a semi-ad hoc function f (x) = p1(1 − x)p2xp3+p4 log(x)+p5 log(x)2, where x = mjj/√s
Historically, as mass reach/luminosity has increased, more parameters added 8 TeV mass search: realised after unblinding that five parameters were needed This time around, we have
