Serves as self-contained primer on the subject matter
Conceived both as textbook and reference manual for newcomers and specialists alike
Combines theoretical, experimental and numerical aspects

This book is open access, which means that you have free and unlimited access Serves as a self-contained primer on the jet, collinear sprays of hadrons, produced in very high-energy collisions Introduces graduate students with some collider phenomenology expertise to the rapidly advancing field of jet substructure physics Discusses recent developments regarding the Lund jet plan

Autorentext

Simone Marzani is an associate professor of theoretical physics at the Department of Physics of the University of Genova (Italy), where he conducts research on jet substructure, QCD resummation techniques, and the theoretical understanding of hadronic final states.

Michael Spannowsky is a professor of theoretical particle physics at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Germany), where he is affiliated with the Institute of Theoretical Physics. His research is focussed on collider phenomenology, searches for physics beyond the Standard Model, and the development of innovative analysis strategies to enhance discovery potential at the LHC.

Gregory Soyez is a senior theoretical physicist at the Institut de Physique Théorique, Saclay (France), where he works on perturbative QCD, jet algorithms, and jet substructure. He is well known for contributions to both the conceptual and computational frameworks used to analyse jets in high-energy collider experiments.
