Angular Ordering in Gluon Radiation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The assumption of angular ordering in gluon radiation is essential to obtain quantitative results concerning gluonic behaviors. In order to prove the validity of this assumption, we have applied our momentum space flux-tube formalism to check out the angular dependences of gluon radiation. We have calculated the probability amplitudes to get new gluon, and have found that the new gluon is generally expected to have the maximum amplitude when it is produced between the momentum directions of the last two partons.

Structure functions and angular ordering at small x 1
We compute the gluon distribution in deep inelastic scattering at small x by solving numerically the angular ordering evolution equation. The leading order contribution , obtained by neglecting angular ordering, satisfies the BFKL equation. Our aim is the analysis of the subleading corrections. Although not complete — the exact next-to-leading contribution is not yet available — these correctio...
متن کاملAntiangular ordering of gluon radiation in QCD media.
We investigate angular and energy distributions of medium-induced gluon emission off a quark-antiquark antenna in the framework of perturbative QCD as an attempt toward understanding, from first principles, jet evolution inside the quark-gluon plasma. In-medium color coherence between emitters, neglected in all previous calculations, leads to a novel mechanism of soft-gluon radiation. The struc...
متن کاملAngular ordering and small - x structure functions
This talks examines the effect of angular ordering on the small-x evolution of the unintegrated gluon distribution, and discusses the characteristic function for the CCFM equation. For some time now it has been known that angular ordering [1] is an essential element in any description of small-x final state properties [2]. As a first step of a programme to study the final state in small-x physi...
متن کاملAngular ordering and parton showers for non-global QCD observables
We study the mismatch between a full calculation of non-global singlelogarithms in the large-Nc limit and an approximation based on free azimuthal averaging, and the consequent angular-ordered pattern of soft gluon radiation in QCD. We compare the results obtained in either case to those obtained from the parton showers in the Monte Carlo event generators HERWIG and PYTHIA, with the aim of asse...
متن کاملJet physics and initial-state QCD parton showers
We discuss methods of parton branching to treat corrections to QCD showers beyond the collinear ordering approximation in hadronic collisions at high energies. We illustrate the role of finite-angle gluon radiation for angular and momentum correlations in multi-jet final states, and describe applications to forward jets at the LHC.
