abstract

We propose extensions of the anti-$k_t$ and Cambridge/Aachen hierarchical jet clustering algorithms that are designed to retain the exact jet kinematics of these algorithms, while providing an infrared-and-collinear-safe definition of jet flavour at any fixed order in perturbation theory. Central to our approach is a new technique called Interleaved Flavour Neutralisation (IFN), whereby the treatment of flavour is integrated with, but distinct from, the kinematic clustering. IFN allows flavour information to be meaningfully accessed at each stage of the clustering sequence, which enables a consistent assignment of flavour both to individual jets and to their substructure. We validate the IFN approach using a dedicated framework for fixed-order tests of infrared and collinear safety, which also reveals unanticipated issues in earlier approaches to flavoured jet clustering. We briefly explore the phenomenological impact of IFN with anti-$k_t$ jets for benchmark tasks at the Large Hadron Collider.

  1. IRC-safe jet flavour at leading power

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Adding leading-power quark-mass effects makes standard anti-kT b-jet flavour tagging infrared-collinear-safe through NNLO without changing jet or flavour definitions, up to power corrections.

  2. Simplex Demixing: Disentangling Multiple Light-Flavor Jets at Colliders

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Simplex demixing recovers T mutually irreducible jet-flavor topics from M mixed samples via the (T−1)-simplex geometry of a multi-category classifier, demonstrated on Pythia dijets.

  3. Heavy Quark Pair Energy Correlators: From Profiling Partonic Splittings to Probing Heavy-Flavor Fragmentation

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Heavy-flavor energy-energy correlators isolate the gluon to heavy quark-antiquark splitting and are predicted to be sensitive to medium modifications and anisotropic quark-gluon plasma structure.

  4. Precise Predictions for Event Shapes in Hadronic Higgs Decays

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    First NNLO QCD predictions for six classical event-shape distributions and soft-drop thrust in hadronic Higgs decays, for both H to b bbar and H to gg channels.

  5. Heavy Flavor Jet Substructure at Lepton Colliders

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    NLL-accurate predictions for heavy-flavor energy correlation functions and jet angularities in e+e- collisions show all tested Monte Carlo generators overestimate the dead-cone suppression.
