Abstract
Jet Energy Correlation Variables are powerful tools to study jet physics at LHC. We show that a class of such variables, known as Energy Correlation Functions can be used effectively to discover and distinguish a wide variety of boosted light dijet resonances at the LHC through sensitivity to their transverse momentum and color structures.
