Comparison of grooming methods for finding the hardest $k_{\mathrm{T}}$ jet splitting in pp collisions at 5 TeV vs pythia. The grooming methods are leading kt, leading kt with z > 0.2, dynamical kt (a=1), and dynamical time (a=2). All grooming methods converge to the same splittings at high $k_{\mathrm{T}}$. PYTHIA agrees broadly with the data
