Measurement of colour flow using jet-pull observables in tt¯ events with the ATLAS experiment at √s=13TeV

Previous studies have shown that weighted angular moments derived from jet constituents encode the colour connections between partons that seed the jets. This paper presents measurements of two such distributions, the jet-pull angle and jet-pull magnitude, both of which are derived from the jet-pull...
