How Good Are Present Analytical Qcd-predictions on Fluctuations in Angular
نویسنده
چکیده
Results on two–particle angular correlations in jet cones and on multiplicity fluctuations in oneand twodimensional angular intervals, delivered by three experiments (DELPHI, L3 and ZEUS, at √ s from few to 183 GeV) are compared to present existing analytical QCD calculations, using the LPHD hypothesis. Two different types of functions have been tested. While the differentially normalized correlation functions show substantial deviations from the predictions, a globally normalized correlation function agrees surprisingly well. The role of the QCD parameters αs, Λ and nf is discussed. The necessity to include full energy-momentum conservation into the analytical calculations is stressed.

We present a comparison of local multiplicity fluctuations in angular phase-space intervals with first-order QCD predictions. The data are based on 810k hadronic events at √ s ≃ 91.2 GeV collected with the L3 detector at LEP during 1994. Recently, progress has been made to derive analytical QCD predictions for angular intermittency [1–3]. Attempts have been undertaken by the DELPHI Collaboratio...

for the L3 Collaboration Multiplicity fluctuations are studied both globaly (in terms of high-order moments) and locally (in terms of small phase-space intervals). The ratio of cumulant factorial to factorial moments of the charged-particle multiplicity distribution shows a quasi-oscillatory behaviour similar to that predicted by the NNLLA of perturbative QCD. However, an analysis of the sub-je...
متن کاملMultiplicity Fluctuations in One- and Two-Dimensional Angular Intervals Compared with Analytic QCD Calculations
Multiplicity fluctuations in rings around the jet axis and in off-axis cones have been measured by the DELPHI collaboration in e+e− annihilations into hadrons at LEP energies. The measurements are compared with analytical perturbative QCD calculations for the corresponding multiparton system, using the concept of Local Parton Hadron Duality. Some qualitative features are confirmed by the data b...
متن کاملHow to Find the Qcd Critical Point
The event-by-event fluctuations in heavy ion collisions carry information about the thermodynamic properties of the hadronic system at the time of freeze-out. By studying these fluctuations as a function of varying control parameters, such as the collision energy, it is possible to learn much about the phase diagram of QCD. As a timely example, we stress the methods by which present experiments...
