SUMMARY:Jet Production at High Energy Colliders - Jennifer Smillie (Univer
 sity of Edinburgh)

DESCRIPTION:The start of LHC Run 2 has given particle collisions at an eve
 n greater centre-of-mass energy.  This is an exciting opportunity for new 
 physics discoveries\, but also poses a problem to our theoretical predicti
 ons.  The large range of energy scales can damage the convergence of the p
 erturbative expansion through the appearance of logarithms at all orders i
 n the coupling.  In this talk\, I will describe the solution to this probl
 em offered by the High Energy Jets framework\, which is a perturbative fra
 mework incorporating these corrections at all orders in the coupling at th
 e matrix-element level which is then implemented as a fully-flexible event
  generator.  I will show comparisons to LHC Run I data illustrating the ef
 fect and describe recent developments in the formalism itself\, looking fo
 rward to Run II analyses.
