Tests of QCD using differences between gluon and quark jets

نویسنده

چکیده

I present recent results from LEP which utilize differences between gluon and quark jets to make quantitative tests of QCD. The principal topic is a determination of the ratio of QCD color factors, CA/CF, using either the multiplicity or fragmentation functions of the jets. In addition, I discuss a recent measurement of the rate of η mesons in gluon jets compared to quark jets.

QCD Tests at HERA

Measurements of inclusive jet, dijet and three-jet cross sections in photon-proton interactions are presented. These measurements provide new tests of QCD, constrain the parton densities of the photon, and allow searches for new physics. Measurements of the mean subjet multiplicity are reported and used to test the differences between quark and gluon jets.

Modeling Magnetic Field in Heavy ion Collisions Using Two Different Nuclear Charge Density Distributions

By studying the properties of matter during heavy-ion collisions, a better understanding of the Quark-Gluon plasma is possible. One of the main areas of this study is the calculation of the magnetic field, particularly how the values of conductivity affects this field and how the field strength changes with proper time. In matching the theoretical calculations with results obtained in lab, two diffe...

Studies of hadronic final states of e + e − annihilations at LEP are reviewed. The topics included cover hadronic event shapes, measurements of αs, determinations of QCD colour factors and tests of the non-Abelian gauge structure of QCD, differences between quark and gluon jets, QCD with heavy quarks and selected results of two-photon scattering processes.

توزیع تکانه عرضی و تابش گلویون درفرآیندهای نابودی e‏+e - درانرژی مرکزجرم 60GeV

  We report on an experimental comparison of the characteristics of quark-induced jets based on an analysis of jet events selected from hadronic events at c.m. energy of 60 GeV in e+e- annihilations. The triangle plot shows that the majority are two-jet events. The three-jet events are also present but not as many as two-jet events. The mean transverse momentum is larger for three-jet events th...

A Monte Carlo Study on the Identification of Quark and Gluon Jets

Three jets events in the ee collisions at 91.2 GeV are investigated using both HERWIG and JETSET Monte Carlo generators. The angles between the three jets are used to identify the quark and gluon jets. The analysis at parton level is done to ensure the reasonableness of this method and an angular cut is ultilized to improve the purity of this identification. The multiplicity inside the identifi...
