Identifying boosted objects with N-subjettiness

We introduce a new jet shape-N-subjettiness-designed to identify boosted hadronically-decaying objects like electroweak bosons and top quarks. Combined with a jet invariant mass cut, N-subjettiness is an effective discriminating variable for tagging boosted objects and rejecting the background of QC...
