Jet transverse energy shape in proton-antiproton collisions at 1.8 TeV

Braden Keim Abbott, Purdue University

Abstract

The distribution of the transverse energy flow in hadronic jets has been measured in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 1.8 TeV at the Fermilab collider using the DOdetector. These measurements of jet shape are made in two regions of pseudo-rapidity centered at $\vert\eta\vert$ $\sim$ 0 and $\vert\eta\vert$ $\sim$ 2.7 as a function of jet transverse energy. Comparisons are made with phenomenological Monte Carlo simulations and next-to-leading-order QCD calculations without parton fragmentation.
