## Jet mass
We can also use jet mass to distinguish our boosted W and top jets from QCD. Let's compare the AK8 jet mass of the boosted top quarks from the RS KK sample and the jets from the QCD sample. Let's also look at the and the softdrop groomed jet mass combined with the PUPPI pileup subtraction algorithm for different samples.

## W and top tagging
In this part of the tutorial, we will look at how different substructure algorithms can be used to identify jets originating from boosted W's and tops. Specifically, we'll see how these identification tools are used to separate these boosted jets from those originating from Standard Model QCD, a dominant process at the LHC.
### W tagging
We will now investigate how to identify W bosons using the substructure techniques we've learned.
Compare the tau2 / tau1 ratio for the AK8 jets from Standard Model top quarks to those from the QCD samples.

### Go Further
* You can learn more about jet grooming from the jet substructure exercise and PUPPI from the pileup mitigation exercise.
* We briefly mentioned that you can combine variables for even better discrimination. In CMS, we do this to build our jet taggers. For the simple taggers, we often combine cuts on jet substructure variables and jet mass. The more sophisticated taggers, which are used more and more widely within CMS, use deep neural networks. To learn about building a machine learning tagger, check out the [machine learning short exercise](https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/CMS/SWGuideCMSDataAnalysisSchoolCERN2020MLShortExercise).

> ## What about boosted Higgs?

> CMS has also a rich program for booted Higgs to bb/cc taggers, however they are usually studied by
> the btagging group (BTV). Look at their documentation for more information.
