| Summary: | Semi-visible jets arise in strongly interacting dark sectors, where parton
evolution includes dark sector emissions, resulting in jets overlapping with
missing transverse momentum. The implementation of semi-visible jets is done
using the Pythia Hidden valley module to duplicate the QCD sector showering. In
this work, several jet substructure observables have been examined to compare
semi-visible jets and light quark/gluon jets. These comparisons were performed
using different dark hadron fraction in the semi-visible jets (signal). The
extreme scenarios where signal consists either of entirely dark hadrons or
visible hadrons offers a chance to understand the effect of the specific dark
shower model employed in these comparisons. We attempt to decouple the
behaviour of jet-substructure observables due to inherent semi-visible jet
properties, from model dependence owing to the existence of only one dark
shower model as mentioned above. |
