用蒙特卡洛方法对630GeV/c质子–反质子碰撞中的无偏样本、喷注事件样本和喷注内样本中的动力学起伏进行了研究.结果表明,喷注事件样本和电子–正电子对撞的全事件样本相似,近似地有各向同性的动力学起伏,而喷注内样本则和电子–正电子对撞的喷注一样,有类似于强子–强子碰撞软过程的各向异性动力学起伏.这表明,强子–强子碰撞中喷注的产生和演化分别和电子–正电子碰撞中喷注的产生和演化有类似的动力学性质.     

高能强子–强子碰撞喷注内部动力学起伏的自仿射分析

对CERN-SppS对撞机能区的质子–反质子碰撞事件中产生的喷注(微喷注)内部的动力学起伏进行了自仿射分析.按圆锥法判定由蒙特卡洛事件产生器产生的事件样本中的喷注(微喷注).通过一维阶乘矩的研究得到自仿射的赫斯特指数.按照所得到的赫斯特指数进行三维自仿射分析,在双对数图上得到较好的直线.从而进一步证明,喷注内部的动力学起伏近似地和SPS静止靶强子–强子碰撞中的动力学起伏一样,呈现为纵–横各向异性,而在横平面内各向同性.     

高能强子–强子碰撞中硬软过程的比较分析

根据QCD中“圆锥定义”来确定喷注,对高能强子-强子碰撞中的硬、软过程作细致的分析.用Pythia产生蒙特卡罗模拟样本,得到的喷注赝快度分布在中心区有平台,喷注内部的粒子密度和横能密度,随离喷注轴的距离指数地下降,比较发现对整个事件样本,单事件平均横动量或最大横动量与多重数是正关联的,而对喷注事件它们是负关联的.引入两个物理量来描述喷注事件的硬、软程度.发现它们与单事件平均横动量是正关联的,而与多重数是负关联的.表明用单事件平均横动量比用多重数能更好地描述喷注事件的硬软程度.

核–核碰撞中喷注淬火导致的双强子产生压低

通过考虑喷注淬火效应,分析了相对论性高能重离子碰撞中双强子的产生.结果表明,喷注淬火压低了大不变质量谱和大横动量的双强子的产生.与质子–质子碰撞的情形类似,核–核的擦边碰撞(碰撞参数很大)产生的强子有很强的背靠背的关联.在核–核对心碰撞(碰撞参数很小)中,由于喷注穿过强作用物质导致的喷注淬火介质效应,产生的强子的背靠背的关联几乎消失.

Comparison of the Hard and Soft Processes in High Energy Hadron-Hadron Colisions

Using the“con ealgorithm”in QCD to identify jet,the hard and soft processes in high energy hadroncic olisions are analysed indetail.A Monte Carlo simulation event sample is produced by PYTHIA.The resultant pseudorapidity distribution of jets has a plateau in the central region.The particle and transverse energy density in jets decreases exponentially with the increase of the distance from particles to jet axis.Through comparisons,we find the event average transverse momentum or maximum transverse momentum is positively correlated with multiplicity for the whole event sample,and negatively correlated with multiplicity for jet event subsample.Two ratio variables well describe the hardness of jet events,and they are positively correlated with the event average transverse momentum and negatively correlated with multiplicity,which confirms the event average transverse momentum is a better characteristic quantity to describe the hardness of jet events than multiplicity.     

Longitudinal broadening of quenched jets in turbulent color fields

The nearside distribution of particles at intermediate transverse momentum, associated with a high momentum trigger hadron produced in a high energy heavy-ion collision, is broadened in rapidity compared with the jet cone. This broadened distribution is thought to contain the energy lost by the progenitor parton of the trigger hadron. We show that the broadening can be explained as the final-state deflection of the gluons radiated from the hard parton inside the medium by soft, transversely oriented, turbulent color fields that arise in the presence of plasma instabilities. The magnitude of the effect is found to grow with medium size and density and diminish with increasing energy of the associated hadron.     

Measurement of jet shapes in high-Q^2 deep inelastic scattering at HERA

The shapes of jets with transverse energies, , up to 45 GeV produced in neutral- and charged-current deep inelastic scattering (DIS) at GeV have been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA. Jets are identified using a cone algorithm in the - plane with a cone radius of one unit. The jets become narrower as increases. The jet shapes in neutral- and charged-current DIS are found to be very similar. The jets in neutral-current DIS are narrower than those in resolved processes in photoproduction and closer to those in direct-photon processes for the same ranges in and jet pseudorapidity. The jet shapes in DIS are observed to be similar to those in interactions and narrower than those in collisions for comparable . Since the jets in interactions and DIS are predominantly quark initiated in both cases, the similarity in the jet shapes indicates that the pattern of QCD radiation within a quark jet is to a large extent independent of the hard scattering process in these reactions.

Measurement of transverse single-spin asymmetries for Dijet production in proton-proton collisions at sqrt[s]=200 GeV

We report the first measurement of the opening angle distribution between pairs of jets produced in high-energy collisions of transversely polarized protons. The measurement probes (Sivers) correlations between the transverse spin orientation of a proton and the transverse momentum directions of its partons. With both beams polarized, the wide pseudorapidity (-1< or = eta < or = +2) coverage for jets permits separation of Sivers functions for the valence and sea regions. The resulting asymmetries are all consistent with zero and considerably smaller than Sivers effects observed in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering. We discuss theoretical attempts to reconcile the new results with the sizable transverse spin effects seen in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering and forward hadron production in pp collisions.     

Measurement of open beauty production in photoproduction at HERA

The production and semi-leptonic decay of heavy quarks have been studied in the photoproduction process with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 38.5 pb. Events with photon-proton centre-of-mass energies, , between 134 and 269 GeV and a photon virtuality, , less than 1 GeV were selected requiring at least two jets of transverse energy GeV and an electron in the final state. The electrons were identified by employing the ionisation energy loss measurement. The contribution of beauty quarks was determined using the transverse momentum of the electron relative to the axis of the closest jet, . The data, after background subtraction, were fit with a Monte Carlo simulation including beauty and charm decays. The measured beauty cross section was extrapolated to the parton level with the b quark restricted to the region of transverse momentum 5 GeV and pseudorapidity 2. The extrapolated cross section is . The result is compared to a perturbative QCD calculation performed to next-to-leading order. Received: 22 November 2000 / Published online: 5 February 2001     

Charged particle density distributions in Au + Au collisions at relativistic heavy-ion collider energies

Charged particle pseudorapidity distributions have been measured in Au+ Au collisions using the BRAHMS detector at RHIC. The results are presented as a function of the collision centrality and the center of mass energy. They are compared to the predictions of different parton scattering models and the important role of hard scattering processes at RHIC energies is discussed. Keywords. Relativistic heavy-ion collisions; charged hadron production; pseudorapidity distributions; centrality dependence; hard scattering processes.     

夸克喷注与胶子喷注角分布特性的研究

用蒙特卡洛模拟Jetset 7.4产生质心能量为91.2GeV的正负电子对撞事件. 在引入喷注的圆锥角后, 对不同味的夸克喷注和由不同味夸克发射的胶子产生的喷注的角分布特性进行了仔细研究. 结果发现, 在相同的能量下, 胶子喷注的角分布范围比夸克喷注的角分布范围要明显宽一些. 在带电粒子数、横动量相同的条件下, 胶子喷注的平均圆锥角比夸克喷注的平均圆锥角大很多. 喷注的平均圆锥角随带电多重数以及喷注的横动量的分布都呈线性正关联. 由不同味的夸克发射的胶子产生的喷注的圆锥角分布特性相同；而不同味的夸克喷注的圆锥角分布存在明显的差异.
