This paper described the Hopkins top-tagging, which is currently being used by CMS to look for new physics top-antitop resonances. The idea is that when a top is boosted it decays to 3 collimated jets, which are not found as separate jets with a classic jet algorithm. Instead, you have to take a larger jet and then recluster using jet substructure. The algorithm is

1. Cluster with a fat jet size, R=1.2
2. Look for the 3 or 4 hardest subjets
3. Have 2 subjets reconstruct the W mass
4. Have the 3 or 4 reconstruct the top mass

Here are some relevant distributions

First cut on the splitting scale	Then cut on the top mass	Then cut on W mass

Top-tagging helps find new physics

CMS has measured tops using this method. Here is a tog-tagged event
