    Abstract : The ability to identify boosted top quarks will be of great importance in searches for new physics at the LHC, as boosted tops play an important role in many scenarios of physics beyond the Standard Model. One top tagging algorithm that has been successfully used in the ATLAS collaboration is the HEPTopTagger, which exploits the clustering history of Cambridge/Aachen (C/A) jets to filter out everything but the core objects inside the jets in an attempt to identify those originating from top quark decay.
