Our initial direct glimpses of TeV scale new-physics will be in the messy
hadronic environment of the Tevatron and the LHC, on top of overwhelming Standard Model
background processes. To dig out the signs of new-physics, here we
must employ jet algorithms and jet substructure analyses. In my talk,
I will explore several new developments and approaches in this field.
By properly accounting for the structure of QCD radiation, these
approaches can significantly improve the new-physics discovery
potential. I will demonstrate their applications to several classes of
new-physics signal at the LHC, including resonance reconstruction, boosted top
identification, new physics searches in WW scattering, Higgs searches,
and the signals of heavy squarks.
