Jet properties at high-multiplicity

Abstract

We investigate the behaviour of jets at high-multiplicity using analytic techniques. We consider in detail the rates, areas and the intermediate splitting scales as a function of the number of jets. In each case, we are able to characterise a general scaling behaviour characteristic for QCD processes, which we compare with results from the parton shower. The study of these observables potentially offers a very general handle in the difficult to describe regime of high-jet multiplicity.
