Jet production at collider energy
Abstract
Jet and single-particle distributions are discussed for poverlinep interactions at ISR (54 GeV) and SPS (540 GeV) c.m. energy. The QCD perturbative calculations are very sensitive to gluon distributions and gluon interactions. Comparison against data would thus provide much information about still elusive gluon effects which are nevertheless expected to be very important. Rapidity distributions for single jet and jet-jet correlation distributions are given. The resulting large background to the jet signal from the production of the weak bosons is discussed.
