Angular Structure of Qcd Jets
نویسنده
چکیده
We derive the angular correlation functions between an arbitary number of partons inside a quark or gluon jet emerging from a high energy hard collision. As an application results for the correlation in the relative angle between two partons as well as the multiplicity moments of any order for partons in a sidewise angular region are calculated. At asymptotic energies the distributions of rescaled angular variables approach a scaling limit of a new type with two redundant quantities. All observables reveal the power behaviour characteristic to the fully developed selfsimilar cascade in appropriate regions of phase space. We present analytical results from the double logarithmic approximation as well as Monte Carlo results. Work supported in part by KBN grant No. PB0488/P3/93.

Effect of the temperature profile of the accretion disk on the structure of jets and outflows around protostars
Magnetic fields play an important role in creating, driving, and in the evolution of outflows and jets from protostars and accretion disks. On the other hand, the temperature profile of the accretion disks may also affect the structure of the magnetic field and outflows. In this paper, we use the self-similar method in cylindrical coordinates to investigate the effect of the temperature profile...
متن کاملUniversal Properties of Angular Correlations in Qcd Jets
Predictions for angular correlations between an arbitrary number of partons are derived in the high energy limit. The quantities considered depend on angles and primary energy through a single variable ε which implies certain scaling properties and relations between quite different observables. These asymptotic predictions derived in the double log approximation of QCD are checked against Monte...
متن کاملIn-medium Parton Energy Losses and Characteristics of Hadronic Jets in Ultra-relativistic Nuclear Collisions
The angular structure of collisional and radiative energy losses of a hard parton jet propagating through the quark-gluon plasma is analyzed. The possibility to observe the energy losses of quarkand gluon-initiated jets in dense QCD-matter (jet quenching) measuring the characteristics of real hadronic jets in ultra-relativistic collisions of nuclei is investigated. In particular, using calorime...
متن کاملFactorial correlators: angular scaling within QCD jets
Factorial correlators measure the amount of dynamical correlation in multiplicity between two separated phase-space windows. We present the analytical derivation of factorial correlators for a QCD jet described at the double logarithmic (DL) accuracy. We obtain a new angular scaling property for properly normalized correlators between two solid-angle cells or two rings around the jet axis. Norm...

Angular correlations of partons have been derived for high energy jets in QCD. Interesting new scaling properties with two redundant variables (jet energy P and jet opening angle Θ) emerge which can be tested within a parton-hadron duality picture. Recent results from LEP support the scaling in Θ; the scaling in both P and Θ could be tested with jets from deep inelastic scattering or with high ...
متن کاملNew formalism for QCD parton showers
We present a new formalism for parton shower simulation of QCD jets, which incorporates the following features: invariance under boosts along jet axes, improved treatment of heavy quark fragmentation, angular-ordered evolution with soft gluon coherence, more accurate soft gluon angular distributions, and better coverage of phase space. It is implemented in the new HERWIG++ event generator.
