Event shape observables

In high energy physics, event shapes observables are quantities used to characterize the geometry of the outcome of a collision between high energy particles in a collider. Specifically, event shapes observables quantify the general pattern traced by the trajectories of the particles resulting from the collision.[1][2]

The most common event shape observables include:

* The sphericity;

* The aplanarity;

* The thrust.

* The C-parameter;

* The jet broadening.
