Jet Production in the Central Rapidity Region in 1.8 TeV Proton and Antiproton Collisions
- Univ. of Chicago, IL (United States)
In this thesis we study the jet production cross section in the central rapidity region in $$\bar{p}$$p collisions at a center of mass energy of 1.8 TeV. The pseudo-rapidity η is defined as η ≡-ln(tan(θ/2)), where θ is the angle between the directions of the jet momentum and the proton beam. We will call the region -0.7 < η < 0.7 the 'central rapidity' region by definition. The goal of this thesis is to determine two kinds of differential cross sections for jet production: an inclusive jet Et distribution dσ/dEt, and the distribution in invariant mass dσ/dMJJ of two jet systems. These spectra serve to check the strong interaction theory, and thus to look for new phenomena, at the highest available energy. The strong interaction theory will be discussed.
