ν-point energy correletors with FastEEC: Small-x physics from LHC jets by Ankita Budhraja, Hao Chen, Wouter J. Waalewijn

“…In recent years, energy correlators have emerged as a powerful tool for studying jet substructure, with promising applications such as probing the hadronization transition, analyzing the quark-gluon plasma, and improving the precision of top quark mass measurements. The projected N-point correlator measures correlations between N final-state particles by tracking the largest separation between them, showing a scaling behavior related to DGLAP splitting functions. …”
