Hard Jet Probes in Terms of Colorless QCD Dipoles
Abstract
The forward jet playing the role of a hard probe in high energy QCD scattering is analyzed in terms of QCD dipole (color-singlet q¯ {q}) configurations in the transverse position space. There are sizable differences with the analogous q¯ {q} configurations of a hard photon probe which may lead to significant phenomenological consequences on the analysis of hard processes using a forward jet probe, e.g. at the Tevatron. A geometrical interpretation of the resulting distribution in terms of black disk diffraction is proposed.
