Jets from boosted heavy particles have a typical angular scale which can be used to distinguish them from QCD jets. We introduce a machine learning strategy for jet substructure analysis using a spectral function on the angular scale. The angular spectrum allows us to scan energy deposits over the angle between a pair of particles in a highly visual way. We set up an artificial neural network (ANN) to find out characteristic shapes of the spectra of the jets from heavy particle decays. By taking the Higgs jets and QCD jets as examples, we show that the ANN of the angular spectrum input has similar performance to existing taggers. In addition, some improvement is seen when additional extra radiations occur. Notably, the new algorithm automatically combines the information of the multi-point correlations in the jet.

  1. Machine learning fully hadronic events with spectral functions

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Spectral functions from two-point correlations serve as multiplicity-independent ML inputs and improve expected gluino mass reach by 150-250 GeV in a fully hadronic ttbar vs gluino benchmark.

  2. Mass Agnostic Jet Taggers

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A systematic comparison shows that data-augmentation jet taggers (planing and PCA scaling) achieve background-preserving performance similar to adversarial networks and uBoost, with much lower training cost.

  3. Exploring the Space of Jets with CMS Open Data

    hep-ph 2019-08 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    The authors apply the energy mover's distance to 1.69 million jets from CMS open data and show that track-based jet studies, including visualizations and anomaly scoring, work on real collider data.
