Abstract

We initiate the precision study of boosted jet substructure using energy correlators, applying this framework to hadronic Higgs decays. We demonstrate that the two-body decay of the Higgs manifests as a distinct angular peak at θ ∼ arccos ( 1 − 2 / γ 2 ) for Lorentz boost factor γ . We show that infrared scales, such as the dead-cone effect and confinement transition, are also resolved within the boosted distribution. Precision analytic studies of boosted jet substructure may enable precision electroweak studies and open new avenues for searches for new physics searches.
