Popis: Events containing hadronically decaying heavy particles with large momentum, leading to so-called merged jets, are expected to play a significant role in both searches for new physics and measurements of Standard Model processes at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. In this article, a comparative study of the modeling of such merged jet topologies by different Monte-Carlo event generators is presented. The observed differences emphasize the need to refine such modeling based on the observation of Standard Model processes prior to claims of discovery.
