Study Of Jet Transverse Momentum And Jet Rapidity Dependence Of Dijet Azimuthal Decorrelations With The Dø Detector, Kiran Chakravarthula

Doctoral Dissertations

In a collision experiment involving highly energetic particles such as hadrons, processes at high momentum transfers can provide information useful for many studies involving Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). One way of analyzing these interactions is through angular distributions. In hadron-hadron collisions, the angular distribution between the two leading jets with the largest transverse momentum (pT) is affected by the production of additional jets. While soft radiation causes small differences in the azimuthal angular distribution of the two leading jets produced in a collision event, additional hard jets produced in the event have more pronounced influence on the distribution of …


The Study Of Pt Dependence Of Dijet Azimuthal Decorrelations In Proton-Proton Collision At Center Of Mass Energy = 7 Tev, Ramasudhakar Dhullipudi Jul 2012

The Study Of Pt Dependence Of Dijet Azimuthal Decorrelations In Proton-Proton Collision At Center Of Mass Energy = 7 Tev, Ramasudhakar Dhullipudi

Doctoral Dissertations

The transverse momentum (pT) dependence of azimuthal decorrelations in dijet events is studied with data collected, at an integrated luminosity of [special characters omitted] dt = (36 ± 4) pb−1, from collisions between protons at a center of mass energy of [special characters omitted] = 7 TeV using the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The results of the analysis of jets in a central rapidity of |y| < 0.8 and pT in the range 60 GeV < pT < 1200 GeV are presented. A new observable RΔ&phis;, defined as the fraction of the total dijet cross section corresponding to a particular range of …
