DESCRIPTION:Jets are collimated sprays of hadrons. They are the most compl
 ex and least understood\, but also the most frequently observed objects at
  the LHC. Almost all\ntheoretical extensions of the standard model predict
  heavy TeV scale resonances which\, to explain electroweak symmetry breaki
 ng\, have to couple to electroweak scale resonances\, e.g. top quarks or e
 lectroweak gauge bosons. Therefore\, boosted electroweak-scale resonances 
 with large branching ratios into jets is a highly probable scenario in man
 y processes probing new physics. The resonances’\ncollimated hadronic de
 cay products can easily blend with the cornucopia of jets from hard relati
 ve light QCD states. Here\, jet substructure methods can help to\ndisentan
 gle the sought-after signal from the backgrounds. In this talk we classify
 \, motivate and discuss scenarios where jet substructure methods can be be
 neficial for new physics searches at the LHC.
