By measuring the substructure of a jet, one can assign it a "quark" or "gluon" tag. In the eikonal (double-logarithmic) limit, quark/gluon discrimination is determined solely by the color factor of the initiating parton (C_F versus C_A). In this paper, we confront the challenges faced when going beyond this leading-order understanding, using both parton-shower generators and first-principles calculations to assess the impact of higher-order perturbative and nonperturbative physics. Working in the idealized context of electron-positron collisions, where one can define a proxy for quark and gluon jets based on the Lorentz structure of the production vertex, we find a fascinating interplay between perturbative shower effects and nonperturbative hadronization effects. Turning to proton-proton collisions, we highlight a core set of measurements that would constrain current uncertainties in quark/gluon tagging and improve the overall modeling of jets at the Large Hadron Collider.

  1. 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.

  2. The Well-Tempered Likelihood: Honest Confidence Intervals for Misspecified Models

    stat.ME 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Dividing the likelihood-ratio statistic by a goodness-of-fit statistic stops confidence intervals from collapsing under model misspecification, making them self-limit at a floor set by the model's inadequacy.

  3. Jet Substructure Probe on Scalar Leptoquark Models via Top Polarization

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A simulation study projects up to 5.4 sigma discovery significance for scalar leptoquarks at the HL-LHC and up to 3.2 sigma separation between the S3 and R2 models using a BDT score.

  4. Phenomenological constraints of the building blocks of the cluster hadronization model

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The authors introduce matrix-element-based cluster fission and decay models and show which angularity and energy-correlation observables are most sensitive to each piece.

  5. A Step Toward Interpretability: Smearing the Likelihood

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Smearing the likelihood over an energy metric reveals the physical scales used by a jet classifier, and the needed smearing radius follows a power-law scaling with dataset size.

  6. Secondary Lund jet plane as a gluon enriched sample

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Selecting close, asymmetric dijets at the LHC gives a ~90% gluon-enriched subleading jet sample, supported by fixed-order QCD and Monte Carlo.

    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.
