Studying gluon properties experimentally

Proposals for Studying TeV WLWL → WLWL Interactions Experimentally ⋆

We discuss how to experimentally study the symmetry breaking sector by observing W L W L → W L W L interactions in the TeV region. We discuss some general features of the event structure in the signal and background events. Various tricks to enhance the signal–to–background ratio are also presented. We show how to detect longitudinal W –bosons either in the central rapidity region of the detect...

Proposals for Studying TeV WLWL → WLWL Interactions Experimentally †

We discuss how to experimentally study the electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) sector by observing WLWL → WLWL interactions in the TeV region. We discuss some general features of the event structure in the signal and the background events. Various techniques to enhance the signal-to-background ratio are also presented. We show how to detect longitudinal W -bosons either in the central rapidity...

Transport Properties of Quark and Gluon Plasmas

The kinetic properties of relativistic quark-gluon and electron-photon plasmas are described in the weak coupling limit. The troublesome Rutherford divergence at small scattering angles is screened by Debye screening for the longitudinal or electric part of the interactions. The transverse or magnetic part of the interactions is effectively screened by Landau damping of the virtual photons and ...

Properties of Gluon and Quark Jets

Recent developments and results on the comparison of gluon to quark jets are discussed. A most important topic is the introduction of explicit energy scales of the jets. The scaling violation of the fragmentation function and the increase of the multiplicity with scale is shown to be directly proportional to the corresponding gluon or quark colour factor. The ratio of the hadron multiplicity in...
