“Substructure and discovery at the upgraded LHC”

“Substructure and discovery at the upgraded LHC”
While the discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider confirms essential components of our model of particle interactions in accelerator experiments, it provokes even more essential questions about how matter and energy behave at higher energy scales.
The upcoming 13 TeV run of the LHC presents new opportunities for measurements and discoveries that could address these questions. Many of these depend on recently developed data analysis techniques that can characterize and classify jets, the ubiquitous hallmark of quark and gluon scattering at colliders like the LHC. I will describe how the ATLAS experiment has prepared to use these jet substructure-based techniques with 7 and 8 TeV data, and discuss the prospects for their applications in searches at 13 TeV.
