Abstract

Almost all theoretical extensions of the Standard Model predict heavy TeV-scale resonances which have to couple to electroweak-scale resonances, e.g., top quarks or electroweak gauge bosons. Therefore, boosted electroweak-scale resonances with large branching ratios into jets is a highly probable scenario in many processes probing new physics. Here, jet substructure methods can help to disentangle the sought-after signal from the backgrounds. In this brief review we classify scenarios where jet substructure methods can be beneficial for new physics searches at the LHC and discuss the application of the HEPTopTagger in some of these scenarios.
