Abstract

I briefly summarize the potential of the LHC to produce boosted objects and that of the experiments to recognize them as such analyzing jet substructure. Then, I consider boosted top quarks in some detail, the boosted object that has probably been most extensively studied. I evaluate ATLAS ttbar resonance searches to understand how and why dedicated algorithms outperform more classical techniques. Finally, I discuss a number of analyses where boosted techniques are likely to make a difference
