The mass area of jets

Sapeta, Sebastian, Zhang, Qi Cheng

Understand

We introduce a new characteristic of jets called mass area.

  • It is defined so as to measure the susceptibility of the jet's mass to contamination from soft background.
  • The mass area is a close relative of the recently introduced catchment area of jets.
  • We define it also in two variants: passive and active.
