Factorial correlators: angular scaling within QCD jets
نویسندگان
چکیده
Factorial correlators measure the amount of dynamical correlation in multiplicity between two separated phase-space windows. We present the analytical derivation of factorial correlators for a QCD jet described at the double logarithmic (DL) accuracy. We obtain a new angular scaling property for properly normalized correlators between two solid-angle cells or two rings around the jet axis. Normalized QCD factorial correlators scale with the angular distance and are independent of the window size. Scaling violations are expected beyond DL approximation, in particular from the subjet structure. Experimental tests are feasible, and thus welcome. e-mail:[email protected] e-mail:[email protected]

Angular correlations of partons have been derived for high energy jets in QCD. Interesting new scaling properties with two redundant variables (jet energy P and jet opening angle Θ) emerge which can be tested within a parton-hadron duality picture. Recent results from LEP support the scaling in Θ; the scaling in both P and Θ could be tested with jets from deep inelastic scattering or with high ...
متن کاملNonperturbative Violation of Factorial Moments Scaling in Dissipative QCD Jets
The nonperturbative modification of the evolution equation for QCD generating functional is applied to the analysis of the factorial moments of the intrajet particle distributions in QCD. Nonperturbative preasymptotic correction to the factorial moments scaling (F-scaling) is calculated. The results are compared with the available experimental data. The data show the possible presence of such a...
متن کاملUniversal Properties of Angular Correlations in Qcd Jets
Predictions for angular correlations between an arbitrary number of partons are derived in the high energy limit. The quantities considered depend on angles and primary energy through a single variable ε which implies certain scaling properties and relations between quite different observables. These asymptotic predictions derived in the double log approximation of QCD are checked against Monte...
متن کاملHeavy quark flavour dependence of multiparticle production in QCD jets
After inserting the heavy quark mass dependence into QCD partonic evolution equations, we determine the mean charged hadron multiplicity and second multiplicity correlators of jets produced in high energy collisions. We thereby extend the so-called dead cone effect to the phenomenology of multiparticle production in QCD jets and find that the average multiplicity of heavy-quark initiated jets d...
متن کاملAngular Structure of Qcd Jets
We derive the angular correlation functions between an arbitary number of partons inside a quark or gluon jet emerging from a high energy hard collision. As an application results for the correlation in the relative angle between two partons as well as the multiplicity moments of any order for partons in a sidewise angular region are calculated. At asymptotic energies the distributions of resca...
