Better Jet Clustering Algorithms
read the original abstract
We investigate modifications to the $k_\perp$-clustering jet algorithm which preserve the advantages of the original Durham algorithm while reducing non-perturbative corrections and providing better resolution of jet substructure. We find that a simple change in the sequence of clustering (combining smaller-angle pairs first), together with the `freezing' of soft resolved jets, has beneficial effects.
