Book excerpt: Selected recent Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) results from the D0 and CDF experiments at the Fermilab Tevatron are presented and discussed. The inclusive jet and inclusive triple differential dijet cross sections are compared to next-to-leading order QCD calculations. The sensitivity of the dijet cross section to parton distribution functions (for hadron momentum fractions (approximately) 0.01 to (approximately) 0.4) will constrain the gluon distribution of the proton. Two analyses of dijet production at large rapidity separation are presented. The first analysis tests the contributions of higher order processes to dijet production and can be considered a test of BFKL or GLAP parton evolution. The second analysis yields a strong rapidity gap signal consistent with colorless exchange between the scattered partons. The prompt photon inclusive cross section is consistent with next-to-leading order QCD only at the highest transverse momenta. The discrepancy at lower momenta may be indicative of higher order processes impacting a transverse momentum or ''k{sub T}'' to the partonic interaction. The first measurement of the strong coupling constant from the Tevatron is also presented. The coupling constant can be determined from the ratio of W + 1jet to W + 0jet cross sections and a next-to-leading order QCD calculation.

This book was released on 2000-07-05 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume concentrates on three main areas of current research in high energy physics: (1) multiparticle and diffractive production in perturbative and nonperturbative QCD, (2) confinement-deconfinement mechanism and the RHIC physics, and (3) interface between high-energy collisions and cosmic-ray/astro-physics. The specific topics covered include: QCD at high energies, diffractive production, and small-x physics, multiparticle production and systematics: correlations and fluctuations, hadronic final states in e+e-, lepton-hadron and hadron-hadron collisions, relativistic heavy ion collisions, interface between high-energy collisions and cosmic-ray physics, and recent development in deconfinement.
Download or read book Quantum Chromodynamics written by Günther Dissertori and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2003-02-06 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an introduction to Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the theory of strong interactions. It covers in full detail both the theoretical foundations and the experimental tests of the theory. Although the experimental chapters focus on recent measurements, the subject is placed into historical perspective by also summarizing the steps which led to the formulation of QCD. Measurements are discussed as they were performed by the LEP experiments at CERN, or at hadron-hadron and lepton-hadron colliders such as the TEVATRON at Fermilab and HERA at DESY. Emphasis is placed on high energy tests of QCD, such as measurements of the strong coupling constant, investigations of the non-abelian structure of the underlying gauge group, determinations of nucleon structure functions, and studies of the non-perturbative hadronization process. This excellent text gives a detailed overview of how QCD developed in the 20th century and where we stand with respect to a quantitative understanding after the turn of the millenium. The text is intended for graduate and postgraduate students as well as researchers, and includes numerous problems and solutions.

Download or read book Next to Leading Order QCD Predictions for Z Gamma 3 Jet Distributions at the Tevatron written by and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using BlackHat in conjunction with SHERPA, we have computed next-to-leading order QCD predictions for a variety of distributions in Z, [gamma]{sup {asterisk}}+ 1, 2, 3-jet production at the Tevatron, where the Z boson or off-shell photon decays into an electron-positron pair. We find good agreement between the NLO results for jet {sub pT} distributions and measurements by CDF and D0. We also present jetproduction ratios, or probabilities of finding one additional jet. As a function of vector-boson {sub pT}, the ratios have distinctive features which we describe in terms of a simple model capturing leading logarithms and phase-space and parton-distribution-function suppression.
Download or read book Test of QCD in Multijet Final States at the Tevatron written by and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this contribution, some of the recent QCD results on jet production from the CDF and D0 experiments in Run II of the Tevatron are discussed. In particular, results include cross section measurements for dijet and trijet production, study of jet substructure and measurements of W/Z+jets cross sections. The measurements are compared with the theoretical predictions. The QCD program at the Tevatron proton-antiproton collider revolves around the jet physics. Jets are collimated sprays of hadrons generated by the fragmentation of partons originating from the hard scattering. The measurements of jets production cross section at the Tevatron provide stringent test of perturbative QCD predictions, information on the strong coupling constant, [alpha]s, and constraints on proton parton distribution functions, PDFs. The deviations from the pQCD predictions could translate into a hint of new physics. In addition, these processes form sizable backgrounds to both, the Standard Model (SM) and beyond SM physics processes. Therefore, good understanding of jets production is essential to perform precise physics measurements or searches for new physics phenomena. In this contribution, a review of some recent QCD results from the CDF [1] and D0 [2] experiments is presented. Various analyses use proton-antiproton collision data from the Fermilab Tevatron at the center of mass energy √s = 1.96 TeV corresponding to integrated luminosities of 0.7 fb−1 to 8 fb−1. The results are corrected for the experimental effects and presented at the 'particle level'. The theory predictions are corrected for the hadronization and underlying effects which are obtained from the parton shower Monte Carlo (MC) simulations.

Book excerpt: Particle physics is a science about the symmetries of our world. The Standard Model is the fundamental theory of microworld. Particle dynamics in the Standard Model obeys strict symmetry laws with explicit experimental consequences. Priority problems of particle physics based on the Standard Model are more accurate theoretical predictions, experimental measurements and data analysis, proof of existence or non-existence of supersymmetry, top quark properties, Higgs boson, exotic quark states, and physics of neutrinos. In this collection of articles, many of these problems are discussed. We recommend this book for students, graduate students, and scientists working in the field of high energy physics.

Download or read book QCD Physics at CDF written by and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present measurements of jet production and isolated prompt photon production in p{bar p} collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV from the 1988--89 run of the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF). To test QCD with jets, the inclusive jet cross section (p{bar p} → J + X) and two jet angular distributions (p{bar P} → JJ + X) are compared to QCD predictions and are used to search for composite quarks. The ratio of the scaled jet cross sections at two Tevatron collision energies (√s= 546 and 1800 GeV) is compared to QCD predictions for X{sub T} scaling violations. Also, we present the first evidence for QCD interference effects (color coherence) in third jet production (p{bar p} → JJJ + X). To test QCD with photons, we present measurements of the transverse momentum spectrum of single isolated prompt photon production (p{bar p} → [gamma] + X), double isolated prompt photon production (p{bar p} → [gamma][gamma] + X), and the angular distribution of photon-jet events (p{bar p} → [gamma] J + X). We have also measured the isolated production ratio of [eta] and [pi]° mesons (p{bar p} → [eta] + X)/(p{bar p} → [pi]° + X) = 1.02 ± .15(stat) ± .23(sys).
