  • Hadronic Z decay events generated on the Z pole (sqrt(s) = 91.2 GeV)

The charged particle multiplicity distribution of hadronic Z decays, as measured on the peak of the Z resonance using the ALEPH detector at LEP. The unfolding procedure was model independent, and the distribution was found to have a mean of $20.85 \pm 0.24$, Comparison with lower energy data supports the KNO scaling hypothesis. The shape of the multiplicity distribution is well described by a log-normal distribution, as predicted from a cascading model for multi-particle production.

  • $e^+e^-\to$ jets with $\pi$ and $\eta$ decays turned off.

Earlier measurements at LEP of isolated hard photons in hadronic Z decays, attributed to radiation from primary quark pairs, have been extended in the ALEPH experiment to include hard photon production inside hadron jets. Events are selected where all particles combine democratically to form hadron jets, one of which contains a photon with a fractional energy $z > 0.7$. After statistical subtraction of non-prompt photons, the quark-to-photon fragmentation function, $D(z)$, is extracted directly from the measured 2-jet rate.

CDF Run I color coherence analysis. Events with $\ge 3$ jets are selected and Et distributions of the three highest-pT jets are obtained. The plotted quantities are the $\Delta{R}$ between the 2nd and 3rd leading jets in the pT and pseudorapidity of the 3rd jet, and $\alpha = \mathrm{d}{\eta}/\mathrm{d}{\phi}$, where $\mathrm{d}{\eta}$ is the pseudorapidity difference between the 2nd and 3rd jets and $\mathrm{d}{\phi}$ is their azimuthal angle difference. Since the data has not been detector-corrected, a bin by bin correction is applied, based on the distributions with ideal and CDF simulation as given in the publication.

Measurement of transverse momentum and total cross section of $e^+e^-$ pairs in the Z-boson region of $66~\text{GeV}/c^2 < m_{ee} < 116~\text{GeV}/c^2$ from pbar-p collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.8 TeV, with the Tevatron CDF detector. The Z pT, in a fully-factorised picture, is generated by the momentum balance against initial state radiation (ISR) and the primordial/intrinsic pT of the Z's parent partons in the incoming hadrons. The Z pT is important in generator tuning to fix the interplay of ISR and multi-parton interactions (MPI) ingenerating `underlying event' activity. This analysis is subject to ambiguities in the experimental Z pT definition, since the Rivet implementation reconstructs the Z momentum from the dileptonpair with finite cones for photon brem summation, rather than YFS/shower unfolding or non-portable direct use of the Z in the event record.

The original CDF underlying event analysis, based on decomposing each event into a transverse structure with ``toward'', ``away'' and ``transverse'' regions defined relative to the azimuthal direction of the leading jet in the event. Since the toward region is by definition dominated by the hard process, as is the away region by momentum balance in the matrix element, the transverse region is most sensitive to multi-parton interactions. The transverse regions occupy $|\phi| \in [60\degree, 120\degree]$ for $|\eta| < 1$. The pT ranges for the leading jet are divided experimentally into the `min-bias' sample from 0--20 GeV, and the `JET20' sample from 18--49 GeV.

A study of ppbar collisions at sqrt(s) = 1800 and 630 GeV collected using a minimum bias trigger in which the data set is divided into two classes corresponding to `soft' and `hard' interactions. For each subsample, the analysis includes measurements of the multiplicity, transverse momentum (pT) spectra, and the average pT and event-by-event pT dispersion as a function of multiplicity. A comparison of results shows distinct differences in the behavior of the two samples as a function of the center of mass energy. The properties of the soft sample are invariant as a function of c.m. energy.

  • QCD events at sqrt(s) = 630 & 1800 GeV. Several pTmin cutoffs are probably required to fill the profile histograms, e.g. 0 (min bias), 30, 90, 150 GeV at 1800 GeV, and 0 (min bias), 20, 90, 150 GeV at 630 GeV.

This analysis studies the underlying event via transverse cones of $R = 0.7$ at 90 degrees in \phi relative to the leading (highest E) jet, at sqrt(s) = 630 and 1800 GeV. This is similar to the 2001 CDF UE analysis, except that cones, rather than the whole central \eta range are used. The transverse cones are categorised as TransMIN and TransMAX on an event-by-event basis, to give greater sensitivity to the UE component. 'Swiss Cheese' distributions, where cones around the leading $n$ jets are excluded from the distributions, are also included for $n = 2, 3$. This analysis is useful for constraining the energy evolution of the underlying event, since it performs the same analyses at two distinct CoM energies. WARNING! The pT plots are normalised to raw number of events. The min bias data have not been reproduced by MC, and are not recommended for tuning.

Rick Field's measurement of the underlying event in leading jet events.

The leading jet defines the $\phi$ direction of the toward region. The transverse regions are most sensitive to the underlying event.

Deepak Kar and Rick Field's measurement of the underlying event in Drell-Yan events.

The reconstructed Z defines the $\phi$ direction of the toward region. The leptons are ignored after the Z has been reconstructed. Thus the region most sensitive to the underlying event is the toward region (the recoil jet is boosted into the away region).

Measurement of the cross section for W boson production in association with jets in $p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV. The analysis uses 320 pb$^{-1}$ of data collected with the CDF II detector. W bosons are identified in their $e\nu$ decay channel and jets are reconstructed using an $R < 0.4$ cone algorithm. For each $W + \geq$ n-jet sample (where n = 1--4) a measurement of d$\sigma({p}\bar{p} \rightarrow W + \geq$ n jet)/d$E_T(n^{th}$-jet) $\times$ BR($W \rightarrow{e}\nu$) is made, where d$E_T(n^{th}$-jet) is the Et of the n$^{th}$-highest Et jet above 20 GeV. A measurement of the total cross section, $\sigma(p\bar{p} \rightarrow W + \geq$ n-jet) $\times$ BR($W \rightarrow{e}\nu)$ with $E_T(n^{th}-jet) > 25$ GeV is also made. Both measurements are made for jets with $|\eta| < 2$ and for a limited region of the $W \rightarrow{e}\nu$ decay phase space; $|\eta^{e}| < 1.1$, $p_{T}^{e} > 20$ GeV, $p_{T}^{\nu} > 30$ GeV and $M_{T} > 20$ GeV. The cross sections are corrected for all detector effects and can be directly compared to particle level $W$ + jet(s) predictions. These measurements can be used to test and tune QCD predictions for the number of jets in and kinematics of $W$ + jets events.

A measurement of the shapes of b-jets using 300 pb$^{-1}$ of data obtained with CDF II in $p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV. The measured quantity is the average integrated jet shape, which is computed over an ensemble of jets. This quantity is expressed as $\Psi(r/R) = \langle\frac{p_T(0 \rightarrow r)}{p_T(0 \rightarrow R)}\rangle$, where pT (0$\rightarrow$r) is the scalar sum of the transverse momenta of all objects inside a sub-cone of radius r around the jet axis. The integrated shapes are by definition normalized such that $\Psi(r/R =1) = 1$. The measurement is done in bins of jet pT in the range 52 to 300 GeV/c. The jets have $|\eta| < 0.7$. The b-jets are expected to be broader than inclusive jets.Moreover, b-jets containing a single b-quark are expected to be narrower than those containing a b bbar pair from gluon splitting.

The ratio of the integrated $Z$ + b-jet cross section to the inclusive $Z$ production cross section is measured differentially in jet $E_T$, jet $\eta$, $Z$-boson transverse momentum, number of jets, and number of b-jets. The first two measurements have an entry for each b-jet in the event, the last three measurements have one entry per event.

The global topologies of inclusive three- and four-jet events produced in pbar p interactions are described. The three- and four-jet events are selected from data recorded by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider operating at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}$=1800 GeV. The studies also show that the topological distributions of the different subprocesses involving different numbers of quarks are very similar and reproduce the measured distributions well. The parton-shower Monte Carlo generators provide a less satisfactory description of the topologies of the three- and four-jet events.

Measurement of differential cross section for inclusive production of isolated photons in p pbar collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The photons span transverse momenta 23--300 GeV and have pseudorapidity $|\eta| < 0.9$.

First measurements at a hadron collider of differential cross sections for $Z$+jet+X production in $\Delta\phi(Z, j)$, $|\Delta y(Z, j)|$ and $|y_\mathrm{boost}(Z, j)|$. Vector boson production in association with jets is an excellent probe of QCD and constitutes the main background to many small cross section processes, such as associated Higgs production. These measurements are crucial tests of the predictions of perturbative QCD and current event generators, which have varied success in describing the data. Using these measurements as inputs in tuning event generators will increase the experimental sensitivity to rare signals.

Historically, the Ariadne colour dipole model provided the only satisfactory description of this data, hence making it a useful 'target' analysis for MC shower models.

DIS events at low x may be sensitive to new QCD dynamics such as BFKL or CCFM radiation. In particular, BFKL is expected to produce more radiation at high transverse energy in the rapidity span between the proton remnant and the struck quark jet. Performing a transverse energy sum in bins of x and $\eta$ may distinguish between DGLAP and BFKL evolution.

Measurements of transverse energy flow for neutral current deep- inelastic scattering events produced in positron-proton collisions at HERA.

The transverse energy flow is measured in the hadronic centre of mass frame and is studied as a function of $Q^2$, $x$, $W$ and pseudorapidity. The behaviour of the mean transverse energy in the central pseudorapidity region and an interval corresponding to the photon fragmentation region are analysed as a function of $Q^2$ and $W$. This analysis is useful for exploring the effect of photon PDFs and for tuning models of parton evolution and treatment of fragmentation and the proton remnant in DIS.

Correlation in $\eta$ and $\phi$ between the charged hadron with the highest pT (``trigger particle'') and the other charged hadrons in the event (``associated particles''). The data was collected in d-Au collisions at 200 GeV. Nevertheless, it is very proton-proton like and can therefore be compared to pp Monte Carlo (not for tuning, but for qualitative studies.)

Run details:
  • pp at 200 GeV

UE analysis similar to Rick Field's leading jet analysis. SIScone with radius/resolution parameter R=0.7 is used. Particles with $pT > 0.2~\text{GeV}$ and $|\eta| < 1$ are included in the analysis. All particles are assumed to have zero mass. Only jets with neutral energy $< 0.7$ are included. For the transMIN and transMAX $\Delta(\phi)$ is between $\pi/3$ and $2\pi/3$, and $\Delta(\eta) < 2.0$. For the jet region the area of the jet is used for the normalization, i.e. the scaling factor is $\pi R^2$ and not $\mathrm{d}\phi\mathrm{d}\eta$ (this is different from what Rick Field does!). The tracking efficiency is $\sim 0.8$, but that is an approximation, as below $pT \sim 0.6~\text{GeV}$ it is falling quite steeply.

This study comprises measurements of pseudorapidity distributions measured with the UA5 detector at 200 and 900 GeV center of momentum energy. There are distributions for non-single diffractive (NSD) events and als for the combination of single- and double-diffractive events. The NSD distributions are further studied for certain ranges of the events charged multiplicity.

Data on two-particle pseudorapidity and multiplicity correlations of charged particles for non single-diffractive $\bar{p}p$ collisions at c.m. energies of 200, 546 and 900 GeV. Pseudorapidity correlations interpreted in terms of a cluster model, which has been motivated by this and other experiments, require on average about two charged particles per cluster. The decay width of the clusters in pseudorapidity is approximately independent of multiplicity and of c.m. energy. The investigations of correlations in terms of pseudorapidity gaps confirm the picture of cluster production. The strength of forward-backward multiplicity correlations increases linearly with ins and depends strongly on position and size of the pseudorapidity gap separating the forward and backward interval. All our correlation studies can be understood in terms of a cluster model in which clusters contain on average about two charged particles, i.e. are of similar magnitude to earlier estimates from the ISR.

  • MinBias events at sqrt(s) = 200 and 900 GeV. Enable single and double diffractive events in addition to minimum bias and non-diffractive processes.

Multiplicity distributions of charged particles produced in non single-diffractive collisions between protons and antiprotons at centre of mass energies of 200 and 900 GeV are presented. The data were recorded in the UA5 streamer chambers at the CERN Collider, which was operated in a pulsed mode between the two energies. A new method to correct for acceptance limitations and inefficiencies based on the principle of maximum entropy has been used. Multiplicity distributions in full phase space and in intervals of pseudorapidity are presented in tabular form. The violation of KNO scaling in full phase space found by the UA5 group at an energy of 546 GeV is confirmed also at 200 and 900 GeV. The shape of the 900 GeV distribution in full phase space is narrower in the peak region than at 200 GeV but exhibits a pronounced high multiplicity tail. The negative binomial distribution fits data at 200 GeV in all pseudorapidity intervals and in small intervals at 900 GeV. In large intervals at 900 GeV, however, the negative binomial distribution. Fits to the partially coherent laser distribution are also presented as well as comparisons with predictions of the Dual Parton, the Fritiof and the Pythia models.

Run details:
  • 820 GeV protons colliding with 27.5 GeV positrons; Direct and resolved photoproduction of dijets; Leading jet pT $>$ 14 GeV, second jet pT $>$ 11 GeV; Jet pseudorapidity $-1 < \eta < 2.4$

ZEUS photoproduction of jets from proton-positron collisions at beam energies of 820~GeV on 27.5~GeV. Photoproduction can either be direct, in which case the photon interacts directly with the parton, or resolved, in which case the photon acts as a source of quarks and gluons. A photon-proton centre of mass energy of between 134~GeV and 227~GeV is probed, with values of xP, the fractional momentum of the partons inside the proton, predominantly in the region between 0.01 and 0.1. The fractional momentum of the partons from the photon, $x\gamma$, is in the region 0.1 to 1. Jets are reconstructed in the range $-1<|\eta|<2.4$ using the kT algorithm with an R parameter of 1.0. The minimum pT of the leading jet should be greater then 14~GeV, and at least one other jet must have pT$>$11~GeV.
