Jet-substructure physics is a relatively new and exciting topic in particle physics. In collider experiments, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment located at CERN, a typical observed event is characterised by a handful of standard constructs such as isolated leptons/photons and QCD jets. In a traditional collider physics project, these standard tagged-objects are considered to be irreducible, and only the kinematic information of these objects is used. In a typical study on collider phenomenology, for example, one uses this information in order to distinguish and identify events due to Beyond Standard Model physics (signal events) from events due to the Standard Model physics (considered background). Substructure techniques extend traditional collider phenomenology in order to extract further information out of each collider event.Given the investment and effort that the particle physics community of the world has made at the LHC, the need and importance of the proposed r...
