hard substructures: mass drop fdrop = 0.8, mi < msub = 30 GeV

filtering: filter triplets of hard substructures → 3 jets (j1, j2, j3) 150 GeV < m123 < 200 GeV

mass plane cuts: 0.85 mW

mt < mij m123 < 1.15 mW mt

Summary

Summary

Resonance search with an updated HEPTopTagger and additional kinematic variables: fat jet kinematics to account for final state radiation algorithmically optimized size of used fat jets and its prediction (optimalR) N–subjettiness probing more general substructures inside the fat jet Qjets with a global picture of the most likely clustering histories giving a top tag → factor 30 improvement compared to the previous HEPTopTagger version
