  1. Di-jet production in gg collisions in OPAL Thorsten Wengler, CERN • Di-jet production mechanisms • Data sample • Energy flow outside jets • Jet structure • Hadronisation corrections • Di-jet cross-sections and NLO

  2. Estimate of fraction of photon momentum entering hard collision 1 mostly single resolved mostly direct mostly double resolved mostly single resolved multiple parton interactions (MIA)? 0 1 Di-jet production mechanisms in gg-collisions direct single resolved double resolved

  3. Data selection and background • Data sample • s= 189-209 GeV, L = 593 pb-1 • Standard gg event selection: • SEcalo & (Leading jet ,opposite hemisphere)inv.mass < 55 GeV • Number of tracks > 6 • Antitag in forward detectors • Quality cuts on missing momentum, vertex position • Total remaining background is about 5% • Jet selection • Inclusive k with R0=1.0 • Cone with hf-radius = 1.0 forjet structure comparisons

  4. Energy flow outside the two leading jets h -1 +1 0 Jet 1 f Jet 2 2p Energy flow in shaded region vs. h ordered by xg (more resolved g is left)

  5. The internal structure of jets: quarks vs. gluons

  6. The internal structure of jets cont. Quark jets are more collimated than gluon jets, but both show the same dependence on ET and h k jets are more collimated than cone jets and are better described by the Monte Carlo

  7. Example of hadronisation corrections Large corrections at xg 1 (better look at sum of the highest two bins in xg ) At high ET hadronisation corrections are small ~ 5%

  8. Di-jet angular distributions: quarks vs. gluons NLO: Klasen et al. Different shape for gluon and quark dominated sample

  9. The di-jet cross-section vs. mean ETjet Well described by NLO for total sample and “single resolved enhanced” But too low for “double resolved enhanced” Which might be due to …

  10. Small hadronisation corrections and no disturbance from MIA NLO should work here – and it does! The di-jet cross-section vs. xg …MIA, which (PYTHIA says), are very small for single res. enhanced sample, as expected.

  11. The influence of the choice of PDF on NLO Gluonic processes are very sensitive to the amount of glue at low xg But for the cross-section this is compensated by inverse behavior of quark densities Need global fit to fix both at the same time …

  12. Conclusions We have studied di-jet production in 593pb-1 of data taken at s from 189 to 209 GeV Quark and gluon dominated sub-samples are studied and show the behavior expected from QCD for jet structure and angular distributions Di-jet cross-section are measured in regions with small and regions with large expected contributions from MIA NLO QCD agrees well with the data in regions where it is expected to be reliable.

  13. Resolved vs. direct event fractions For higher jet energies the fraction of resolved events at low xgis still high (but the cross-section decreases)

  14. Selection of the gg-sample The arrows indicate the cut value In each case all cuts are applied except on the quantity shown

  15. Energy flow around jets (jet profiles) Some discrepancy for PHOJET in region between jets, but well described by Monte Carlo in general

  16. The di-jet cross-section vs. xg Measurement for the full xg- - xg+ - space

  17. The di-jet cross-section vs. xg “Single resolved enhanced” “Double resolved enhanced”

  18. The di-jet cross-section vs. hjet “Single resolved enhanced” “Double resolved enhanced”

  19. Definition of the di-jet cross-section observables
