Setting the jet energy scale in the CMS calorimeter using events with direct photons

The procedure of setting the jet energy using events with direct photons proposed as one of the methods of jet calibration in the CMS is studied. Based on complete simulation of events in the CMS including the effects of pile-up of additional events for the initial beam luminosity of the accelerator (L = 2 × 10³³ cm^?2s^?1), the rules for event selection during calibration are proposed. Errors of the proposed method due to the background and the radiation in the ISRare estimated.     

Relevance of the subgrid-scales for large eddy simulations of turbulence-radiation interactions in a turbulent plane jet

An a priori study based on direct numerical simulation (DNS) of a non-isothermal turbulent plane jet has been carried out in order to analyse the role of the small-scales of turbulence on thermal radiation. Filtered DNS and large eddy simulation (LES) without subgrid-scale (SGS) model have been estimated for the radiative heat transfer. The comparison of the results highlights the subgrid-scale influence over the filtered radiation quantities, such as the radiative intensity and the radiative emission. The influence of the optical thickness is also studied. It is shown that the subgrid-scales are not significant near the centerline of the jet, where the radiative heat transfer is more important, and therefore that the SGS can be neglected in this configuration. However, when the optical thickness increases, the SGS become relevant and SGS modeling may be needed.     

How gluon bremsstrahlung inW-decays distorts the experimental signature ofe + e −→W + W −

The effect of gluon bremsstrahlung in the decays of theW-bosons on the measurement of the reactione ⁺ e ^?→W ⁺ W ^?→ hadrons is discussed. From simulation studies we find a substantial fraction of events with high jet multiplicities. At energies of \(\sqrt s = 200\) GeV this leads to probabilities of 25% or higher to misassign a jet to aW-boson when a realistic resolution of a detector is assumed. Some implications on the measurement of the decay and production properties of theW's are discussed.     

Covariance measurements in the initial region of an annular jet

This paper describes the results of correlation measurements in the initial region of a basic annular jet, which is under the effect of the jet vortices and of the wake induced vortices. Evidence has been found that the wake induced vortices are excited by the disturbances associated with the wake vortices. For these wake induced vortices the azimuthal constituent (m = 1) is dominant. The similarity observed between the behaviour of the jet vortices and that of the wake induced vortices suggests that the jet vortices are also excited by these disturbances of the wake vortices, having the same Strouhal number. Thus the jet vortices are also dominated by the azimuthal constituent (m = 1). However, evidence has been found that within the first two outer diameters an axisymmetrical constituent (m = 0) is also present within the jet vortices. Comparison of the wake induced vortices with the jet vortices shows that these two helical waves are out of phase and are axially separated.

Jet fragmentation function moments in heavy ion collisions

The nature of a jet’s fragmentation in heavy-ion collisions has the potential to cast light on the mechanism of jet quenching. However, the presence of the huge underlying event complicates the reconstruction of the jet fragmentation function as a function of the momentum fraction z of hadrons in the jet. Here we propose the use of moments of the fragmentation function. These quantities appear to be as sensitive to quenching modifications as the fragmentation function directly in z. We show that they are amenable to background subtraction using the same jet-area-based techniques proposed in the past for jet p _t ’s. Furthermore, complications due to correlations between background-fluctuation contributions to the jet’s p _t and to its particle content are easily corrected for.     

Simulation of QCD jets: The choice of the cutoff

In view of the simulation ofe ⁺ e ^? annihilation events corresponding to QCD multi-jet final states, we examine the dependence of the results on the value of the cutoff, which delimits the perturbative from the non-perturbative regimes. We do this by studying in some detail related effects for the lowest order perturbative contributions (including single gluon emission). We conclude that event simulation is considerably affected by the choice of the cutoff. Up to energies where only two and three jet configurations are dominant, though, this does not prevent from having quantitative tests of QCD, if suitable kinematical cuts are applied.

Detailed investigation of soot formation from jet fuel in a diffusion flame with comprehensive and hybrid chemical mechanisms

A numerical and experimental study is performed to investigate soot formation from jet fuel in a laminar coflow diffusion flame. The combustion chemistry of the fuel is simulated using (1) the MURI jet fuel surrogate (Dooley et al. 2012) with a modestly reduced Ranzi mechanism (Ranzi et al. 2012), and (2) the recently proposed HyChem model (Xu et al. 2018) combined with the KAUST PAH mechanism 2 (Wang et al. 2013). The two reaction mechanisms are coupled with a sectional soot model to simulate a coflow diffusion flame of methane doped with the MURI jet fuel surrogate. The combined laser extinction and two-angle elastic light scattering method is used to perform non-intrusive in situ measurements of soot volume fraction, primary particle diameter and number density. The good agreement including soot particle size and number density between the experimental data and the simulation results computed with the reduced Ranzi mechanism demonstrate the robustness of the soot model to changes in fuel composition, as the model parameters are unchanged with a previous numerical study of soot formation of n-propylbenzene/n-dodecane mixtures (Zhang and Thomson, 2018). The computation with the combined HyChem/KAUST mechanism predicts similar results as the computation with the detailed chemistry of the reduced Ranzi mechanism for fuel breakdown, thus the basic premise of the HyChem model that the fuel decomposition process can be greatly simplified with the lumped reaction steps is supported. The results also show that by adding a PAH growth scheme to the HyChem model, the approach can be used to predict soot formation from jet fuel combustion in a laminar coflow diffusion flame. Finally, the dependency of the soot prediction on PAH chemistry is discussed and it is suggested that more experimental data is needed to validate the PAH mechanism and improve the predictive accuracy of the model.     

A study of jets in electron positron annihilation into hadrons in the energy range 3.1 to 9.5 GeV

From an analysis of data taken with the detector PLUTO and the DORIS storage rings we have obtained evidence for jet structure in e⁺e^? annihilation with hadrons. Results for mean sphericity, mean thrust, the angular dependence of the jet axis and for 〈p_t〉 and 〈p_∥〉 with respect to the jet axis are presented. At 9.4 GeV we also discuss the angular dependence of the charged and neutral deposited energy with respect to the jet axis.     

Flow field and acoustic properties of a Mach number 0·9 jet at a low Reynolds number

An experimental study of the flow field and acoustic properties of a low Reynolds number (Re ? 3600), M = 0·9 jet has been performed in our low pressure anechoic test chamber. The mean flow field was surveyed with a conventional Pitot pressure probe and flow fluctuations were detected with a normal hot wire probe. Also, condenser microphone measurements were made in the acoustic field. The major goal of the study was to develop a better understanding of the noise generation mechanisms of subsonic jets. The flow fluctuations within the jet were found to be dominated initially by a relatively discrete, large-scale, wave-like instability centered around a Strouhal number of 0·44. The axial wavelength of this instability was determined to be 1·45 jet diameters and its azimuthal character includes the n = 0 and n = ± 1 modes. The growth of this instability coupled with its non-linear breakdown are major contributors to the termination of the potential core region of the jet. The acoustic field of the jet, in contrast to the flow field, has a broad frequency spectrum with a peak amplitude near a Strouhal number of St = 0·2. The results indicate that a non-linear mechanism involving the large scale flow instability is responsible for a dominant portion of the noise generated from this jet.     

A prediction method for the effects of flight on subsonic jet noise

The noise of a single-stream circular jet and that of a coaxial jet with coplanar nozzles of 2·5 area ratio have been measured under simulated flight conditions in the RAE 24 ft wind-tunnel. The majority of tests were conducted with the single-stream jet and primary section of the coaxial jet at a nominal temperature of 880 K. The data have been used to quantify the effect of jet temperature and were combined with measurements from an earlier test series to establish a prediction method for the effect of flight on the noise of single-stream subsonic jets. This method is based on jet noise theory modified by experimentally derived constants. For coaxial jets it is concluded that the noise reductions, which are independent of the secondary stream velocity, are predicted to an acceptable degree by the method suggested for unheated single-stream jets. The prediction methods are suitable for both OASPL's and spectra.

Photon radiation and dilepton production induced by rescattering in strong interacting medium

Using the opacity expansion technique we investigate the photon radiation and dilepton production induced by multiple rescattering as an energetic parton jet passing through the strong interacting medium. The real photon radiation and dilepton invariant-mass spectra of the bremsstrahlung contribution from an energetic quark jet are presented. The leading contribution of total energy loss by photon emission in the medium of a high energetic quark jet is found to be proportional to the jet energy and has a linear dependence on the thickness of the nuclear target. The rescattering contribution to the dilepton production is important only when the pair has a small invariant mass and the jet has relatively low energy. The contribution fraction of the dilepton induced by rescattering in medium is found to be nearly a constant when the ratio of the jet energy to Debye screening mass E/μ is large.

A new approach to the Sterman-Weinberg jet formula

A new way to define a Sterman-Weinberg jet is described. The fraction of hadronic final states frome ⁺ e ^? annihilation consisting of 2 jets is obtained exactly to order α _s Q ² in QCD perturbation theory using two opposed cones along the thrust axis. Conditions on the parton phase space are discussed in detail. The deviation of the jet angular distribution from 1+cos² θ is also obtained. In contrast to some previously proposed 2 jet definitions we find no restriction of the range of applicability by a relation between the Sterman-Weinberg parameters ? and δ. This definition allows a very easy comparison with experimental data. A rough estimate of the fragmentation effects on the fraction of 2 jet events is also presented.

Flow-field dynamics of the non-reacting and reacting jet in a vitiated cross-flow

The dynamics of a premixed ethylene-air jet injected transverse to a vitiated cross-flow were investigated using high-repetition rate particle image velocimetry (PIV). Both non-reacting and reacting jets were found to be characterized by a dominant frequency associated with the jet wake vortex system. For the isothermal jet, increasing the momentum flux ratio (J) has only a slight effect on the frequency of the oscillation but significantly increases its magnitude. The reacting jet was found to exhibit different behavior, with a monotonic increase in the dominant frequency with J. The jet equivalence ratio (?_j) was found to have little effect on the rate of wake vortex shedding but affects the overall magnitude of the oscillation. Comparison with data reported in the literature suggests the relationship between the wake Strouhal number (St_w) and J is fuel dependent. Application of a vortex detection algorithm shows a stark difference in the location of the wake vortices under non-reacting and reacting conditions. Under isothermal conditions, the vortices are found close to the jet centerline and dissipate relatively quickly. Reaction confines the vortices to a narrow shear layer until a farther distance downstream and the vortices convect through the entire area of interest. Additionally, the vortex circulation strength was found to increase with J. Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) analysis of the non-reacting and reacting jets demonstrates the dominance of the wake vortex structures in the oscillating flow fields. In both cases, the temporal information extracted from the most energetic modes is identical to the dominant frequencies measured in the flow fields. The primary effect of heat release is to reduce the overall amount of coherence and to delay the appearance of elevated coherence levels until a larger streamwise distance from the jet exit.
