Rapidity Gaps in Gluon Jets / Color Reconnection at Lep
نویسنده
چکیده
Gluon jets with a large gap in the rapidity distribution of particles within the jet are very sensitive to color reconnection effects. Gluon jets of this type, selected from hadronic Z decay events produced in ee annihilations at LEP, are used to test three QCD models which include a simulation of color reconnection: one in the Ariadne Monte Carlo, one in the Herwig Monte Carlo, and the other by Rathsman in the Pythia Monte Carlo. We conclude that color reconnection as implemented by the Rathsman and Ariadne models is disfavored. We don’t obtain a definite conclusion concerning the Herwig color reconnection model.

Color singlet two gluon exchange provides a perturbative model for the pomeron. This mechanism is thought to explain the production of rapidity gaps in hard dijet events at the Tevatron. It is shown that in qQ scattering via two gluon color singlet exchange the emission of soft gluons follows closely the pattern found for t-channel photon exchange. Gluon emission is strongly suppressed between ...
متن کاملUnitarization of Gluon Exchange Amplitudes and Rapidity Gaps at the Tevatron
Rapidity gaps between two hard jets at the Tevatron have been interpreted as being due to the exchange of two gluons which are in an overall colorsinglet state. We show that this simple picture involves unitarity violating amplitudes. Unitarizing the gluon exchange amplitude leads to qualitatively different predictions for the fraction of t-channel color singlet exchange events in forward qq, q...
متن کاملLarge Rapidity Gaps between Jets at HERA and at the Tevatron
In this talk I consider the formation of a rapidity gap in hadron production between two jets. To appear in the Proceedings of the International Workshop on Deep Inelastic Scattering and Related Phenomena Roma, Italy, April 1996 Rapidity gaps in hadron production between two jets have been observed in photoproduction at HERA [1] and in p p̄ collisions at the Tevatron [2], where it was found that...
متن کاملAre Two Gluons the QCD Pomeron?
Collider experiments have recently measured the production cross section of hard jets separated by a rapidity gap as a function of transverse momentum and gap size. We show that these measurements reveal the relative frequencies for the production of rapidity gaps in quark-quark, quark-gluon and gluon-gluon interactions. The results are at variance with the idea that the exchange of 2 gluons is...
متن کاملRapidity Gaps in Quark and Gluon Jets - a Perturbative Approach
We derive the probability for rapidity gaps in a parton cascade and investigate the dual connection with hadronic final states. A good description of observations in ee-annihilations is obtained by perturbative QCD calculations in MLLA using previously determined parameters (QCD scale Λ and kT -cut-off Q0) and applying the parton hadron duality picture. Further predictions are derived; especial...
