Limits on new coloured fermions using precision jet data from the Large Hadron Collider

This work presents an interpretation of high precision jet data from the ATLAS experiment in terms of exclusion limits for new coloured matter. To this end, the effect of a new coloured fermion with a mass mX on the solution of the renormalization group equation QCD is studied. Theoretical predictions for the transverse energy–energy correlation function and its asymmetry are obtained with such a modified solution and, from the comparison to data, 95% CL exclusion limits are set on such models.
