We study hadronic jets that are tagged as heavyflavoured, i.e. they contain either beauty or charm. In particular, we consider heavy-flavour jets that have been groomed with the Soft Drop algorithm. In order to achieve a deeper understanding of these objects, we apply resummed perturbation theory to jets initiated by a massive quark and we perform analytic calculations for two variables that characterise Soft Drop jets, namely the opening angle and the momentum fraction of the splitting that passes Soft Drop. We compare our findings to Monte Carlo simulations. Furthermore, we investigate the correlation between the Soft Drop energy fraction and alternative observables that aim to probe heavy-quark fragmentation functions.

Abstract

We study hadronic jets that are tagged as heavyflavoured, i.e. they contain either beauty or charm. In particular, we consider heavy-flavour jets that have been groomed with the Soft Drop algorithm. In order to achieve a deeper understanding of these objects, we apply resummed perturbation theory to jets initiated by a massive quark and we perform analytic calculations for two variables that characterise Soft Drop jets, namely the opening angle and the momentum fraction of the splitting that passes Soft Drop. We compare our findings to Monte Carlo simulations. Furthermore, we investigate the correlation between the Soft Drop energy fraction and alternative observables that aim to probe heavy-quark fragmentation functions.
