N Jettiness: An Inclusive Event Shape to Veto Jets

Jet vetoes are essential in many analyses at the LHC and Tevatron. Typical signals have a specific number of hard jets or leptons, while backgrounds have additional jets. Vetoing undesired jets efficiently discriminates signal and background. For a sample with ≥N jets, the veto to give N energetic j...
