Origins of Jet scaling and applications to new physics — •Erik Gerwick — Physikalisches Institut II., Göttingen, DE

Multi-jet final states are ubiquitous at the LHC and understanding these rates precisely is crucial in searches for new physics. We present recent work extrapolating jet rates through universal jet scaling patterns and reveal the underlying mechanism by which QCD produces such patterns. Finally, we list some of the specific applications to ongoing LHC experiments.
