Jet Physics and Event Shape Studies at Hera
نویسنده
چکیده
A review is given of the latest results on jet production and studies of event shape variables in deep inelastic scattering at HERA. Jet cross sections studies for inclusive jet and dijet events are presented and compared to next-to-leading order QCD calculations. Extraction of the strong coupling constant αs is discussed.

Study of the Jet Shape at 920 GeV / c in Proton - Nucleus Interactions with HERA - B Detector
We performed a measurement of differential and integral jet shapes in proton-carbon, proton-tungsten and proton-aluminium collisions at 920 GeV/c proton momentum with the HERA-B detector at HERA for the jet transverse energies in the range 4 < ET (jet) < 12 GeV. Jets were identified using the kT-clustering algorithm. The measurements were performed for the hardest jet in the event, directed tow...
متن کاملJET SHAPES AND DETERMINATIONS OF s FROM HADRONIC FINAL STATES IN DEEP INELASTIC SCATTERING AT HERA
Recent results from the study of hadronic nal states in deep inelastic scattering at HERA are reviewed. Jet shapes from neutral and charged current interactions at HERA are compared to those from e + e ? annihilation and p p collisions. The (2+1) jet event rate distributions R2+1(Q 2) and y2 are measured using the modiied JADE jet algorithm. The value of the strong coupling constant s is determ...
متن کاملJet Physics at HERA
Analyses of jet production at HERA have become precise enough to perform QCD studies which are both competitive and complementary to those at ee and pp colliders. This report summarises some of the latest results on jet physics from the H1 and ZEUS Collaborations.
متن کاملHadronisation Corrections for Jets in the kt Algorithm
An understanding of QCD jets and their properties will be integral to the success of the LHC physics program. In particular one of the most important issues in current jet studies is the question of jet energy scale. The shift induced in jet energy by effects such as perturbative radiation and non-perturbative effects like hadronisation and the underlying event would contribute to a smearing of...
متن کاملMeasurement of event shapes in deep inelastic scattering at HERA
Inclusive event-shape variables have been measured in the current region of the Breit frame for neutral current deep inelastic ep scattering using an integrated luminosity of 45.0 pb−1 collected with the ZEUS detector at HERA. The variables studied included thrust, jet broadening and invariant jet mass. The kinematic range covered was 10 < Q2 < 20 480GeV and 6 × 10−4 < x < 0.6, where Q2 is the ...
