Identifying Hadronically Decaying Vector Bosons Merged into a Single Jet
Abstract: In the new energy regime of the LHC, it is becoming increasingly important for new physics searches to identify single jet objects which originate from and contain the decay products of a hadronically decaying massive W boson produced with high transverse momentum. A number of observables are explored for identifying these "W-jets". An algorithm is defined to identify jets originating from hadronically decaying W bosons for different signal scenarios. The efficiency for tagging W-jets is presented and comparisons are made between data and simulation.All the techniques discussed in identifying W-jets are applicable for other hadronic two-prong decays such as those from Z and Higgs bosons.
