Angular Scaling In Jets
Larkoski, Andrew.
We introduce a jet shape observable defined for an ensemble of jets in
terms of two-particle angular correlations and a resolution parameter R.
This quantity is infrared and collinear safe and can be interpreted as a scal-
ing exponent for the angular distribution of mass inside the jet. For small
R it is close to the value 2 as a consequence of the approximately scale
invariant QCD dynamics. For large R it is sensitive to non-perturbative
effects. We describe the use of this correlation functio... Show Full Abstract
We introduce a jet shape observable defined for an ensemble of jets in
terms of two-particle angular correlations and a resolution parameter R.
This quantity is infrared and collinear safe and can be interpreted as a scal-
ing exponent for the angular distribution of mass inside the jet. For small
R it is close to the value 2 as a consequence of the approximately scale
invariant QCD dynamics. For large R it is sensitive to non-perturbative
effects. We describe the use of this correlation function for tests of QCD,
for studying underlying event and pile-up effects, and for tuning Monte
Carlo event generators. Show Partial Abstract
