Central jets in vector-boson scattering (B1c)

• Subject Area: Nuclear and Elementary Particle Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Relativity, Fields
• Term: from 2019 to 2022
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 396021762

Vector-boson scattering at the LHC is accompanied by two jets, arising from scattered quarks. The lack of color exchange between the quarks results in suppressed hadronic/jet activity between these jets, which is used for signal identification. We will calculate distributions for this hadronic activity at NLO QCD, matched to the parton shower simulation of event generators, creating a precision tool for the study of vector-boson scattering.
