American physicists investigated the statistical properties of the movements of Mexican jumping beans (the so-called boxes of Sebastiania pavoniana, which set the larvae of the leaflet growing in them in motion) in the absence of a temperature gradient. It turned … Read More

Identifying hadronically decaying top-quark jets in a sample of jets is an important task in many LHC searches. Although there are outstanding supervised algorithms, their construction and expected performance rely on Monte Carlo simulations. After introducing the general framework of … Read More
