Why count jets

– complete event reconstruction crucial at LHC [Higgs plus 0,1,2 jets; jets plus /~pT ]

– utilize tagging and recoil jets in Higgs searches

– reduce t t and gg backgrounds

– identify decay jets in BSM searches

⇒ dσ/dnjets just another distribution to cut on?

Poisson scaling

Theory: soft gluon radiation [Peskin & Schroeder Ch 6]

– example: photons off hard electrononly abelian diagrams, successive radiation

– eikonal approximation

Mn+1 = gsT aε∗µ(k) u(q)

qµ +O( /k)

(qk) +O(k2)Mn

– factorization of ‘hard process’ and soft radiation factors

– Poisson distribution [normalized pdf for n if n expected]

σn =nne−n

n!⇐⇒ R(n+1)/n =

σn+1

σn=

nn + 1

Basis of Poisson distribution

1– radiation matrix element nn:abelian fine, non-abelian a little tricky [ISR-FSR, see Ioffe, Fadin, Lipatov]

2– phase space factor 1/n!:only combinatorics, matrix element ordered [angular ordering, color suppression]

3– normalization factor e−n

– just like parton shower in collinear regimes
