A data-driven approach to pile-up at high luminosity

Abstract

We discuss recent results on pile-up based on a data-driven jet-mixing method. We illustrate prospects for experimental searches and precision studies in high pile-up regimes at high-luminosity hadron colliders, showing how the jet mixing approach can be used, also outside tracker acceptances, to treat correlation observables and effects of hard jets from pile-up.
