Radial scaling in inclusive jet production at hadron colliders

Inclusive jet production in p-p and p[over ¯]-p collisions shows many of the same kinematic systematics as observed in single-particle inclusive production at much lower energies.

Gaia:Inclusive jet production in p-p and p[over ¯]-p collisions shows many of the same kinematic systematics as observed in single-particle inclusive production at much lower energies. In an earlier study (1974) a phenomenology, called radial scaling, was developed for the single-particle inclusive cross sections that attempted to capture the essential underlying physics of pointlike parton scattering and the fragmentation of partons into hadrons suppressed by the kinematic boundary. The phenomenology was successful in emphasizing the underlying systematics of the inclusive particle productions. Here we demonstrate that inclusive jet production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in high-energy p-p collisions and at the Tevatron in p[over ¯]-p inelastic scattering shows similar behavior. The ATLAS inclusive jet production plotted as a function of this scaling variable is studied for √s of 2.76, 7 and 13 TeV and is compared to p[over ¯]-p inclusive jet production at 1.96 TeV measured at the CDF and D0 at the Tevatron and p-Pb inclusive jet production at the LHC ATLAS at √s[subscript NN]= 5.02  TeV. Inclusive single-particle production at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory fixed target and Intersecting Storage Rings energies are compared to inclusive J/ψ production at the LHC measured in ATLAS, CMS and LHCb. Striking common features of the data are discussed.
