Anti-kT Jet Algorithm/Evidence
Method evidence record

Anti-kT Jet Algorithm

The anti-kT jet algorithm, introduced by Cacciari and Salam in 2008, is a sequential recombination jet clustering algorithm widely used in high-energy physics to group final-state particles into jets. Unlike earlier algorithms, anti-kT produces jets with regular cone-like geometries in transverse momentum-rapidity space, making it ideal for precision measurements and new physics searches.
