    Recombination Algorithms and Jet Substructure: Pruning as a Tool for Heavy Particle Searches

    Full text link
    We discuss jet substructure in recombination algorithms for QCD jets and single jets from heavy particle decays. We demonstrate that the jet algorithm can introduce significant systematic effects into the substructure. By characterizing these systematic effects and the substructure from QCD, splash-in, and heavy particle decays, we identify a technique, pruning, to better identify heavy particle decays into single jets and distinguish them from QCD jets. Pruning removes protojets typical of soft, wide angle radiation, improves the mass resolution of jets reconstructing a heavy particle decay, and decreases the QCD background. We show that pruning provides significant improvements over unpruned jets in identifying top quarks and W bosons and separating them from a QCD background, and may be useful in a search for heavy particles.Comment: 33 pages, 42 figure

    Analysis of perceptual-motor calibration processes in indoor climbing

    Get PDF
    This research programme examines how people perceive maximal reach-and grasp-ness in climbing, and as such these questions will be limited to climbing. Is experienced gained from performing daily submaximal reaching sufficient for the accurate perception of maximal horizontal reaching affordances in rock climbing? How is perception of maximal horizontal boundary of reach-and grasp-ness affected by: hold size, body position, additional load, or fatigue. How will inducing fatigue affect how a participant calibrates distance and their movement economy

    Overview of Optimal Experimental Design and a Survey of Its Expanse in Application to Agricultural Studies

    Optimal Design of Experiments is currently recognized as the modern dominant approach to planning experiments in industrial engineering and manufacturing applications. This approach to design has gained traction among practitioners in the last two decades on two-fronts: 1) optimal designs are the result of a complicated optimization calculation and recent advances in both computing efficiency and algorithms have enabled this approach in real time for practitioners, and 2) such designs are now popular because they allow the researcher to ‘design for the experiment’ by working constraints, cost, number of experiments, and the model of the intended post-hoc data analysis into the design definition, thereby creating designs with more practical meaning than classical or catalogue designs. In this talk, I will review the definition of optimal design, discuss recent computational advancements in this field, and provide a survey of the expanse of this design approach in the agricultural literature
