Jets in Qcd * Jets in Qcd

چکیده
Many analyses at the collider utilize the hadronic jets that are the footprints of QCD partons. These are used both to study the QCD processes themselves and increasingly as tools to study other physics, for example top mass reconstruction. However, jets are not fundamental degrees of freedom in the theory, so we need an operational jet definition and reliable methods to calculate their properties. This talk covers both of these important areas of jet physics.

Tests of QCD using differences between gluon and quark jets
I present recent results from LEP which utilize differences between gluon and quark jets to make quantitative tests of QCD. The principal topic is a determination of the ratio of QCD color factors, CA/CF, using either the multiplicity or fragmentation functions of the jets. In addition, I discuss a recent measurement of the rate of η mesons in gluon jets compared to quark jets.
متن کاملQCD at the Tevatron
Recent measurements of selected QCD processes at the Tevatron are reviewed and confronted with theoretical calculations. Results on inclusive jet production at large transverse momentum (pT ) are compared to predictions from next-to-leading order (NLO) perturbative QCD (pQCD). Kinematic distributions of jets with light and heavy flavor produced in association with electroweak bosons are compare...

We compute analytically the effects of energy conservation on the self-similar structure of parton correlations in QCD jets. The calculations are performed both in the constant and running coupling cases. It is shown that the corrections are phenomenologically sizeable. On a theoretical ground, energy conservation constraints preserve the scaling properties of correlations in QCD jets beyond th...
متن کاملPrecision tests of QCD with jets and vector bosons at HERA and TevaTron
Recent results from HERA and TevaTron on precision tests of QCD with jets, W and Z bosons and photons associated with jets and heavy flavours are presented. The measurements were used to probe QCD at the highest energies, to provide experimental constraints on SM processes that constitute background to new physics, to extract values of the coupling of the strong interaction and to constrain the...
متن کامل5 Soft and Hard Jets in QCD
Multiplicity of sets of soft jets with energies ranging in some interval is determined. The possible role of collective effects is discussed. The phenomenon of jet emission is well known in QCD and firmly established in experiment. The two-jet events in e + e −-annihilation provide us with unique possibility to measure jets with fixed energy equal to that of colliding particles. In all other ca...
