Measurement of Dijet Azimuthal Decorrelations in pp Collisions at [sqrt]s=7  TeV

Azimuthal decorrelations between the two central jets with the largest transverse momenta are sensitive to the dynamics of events with multiple jets. We present a measurement of the normalized differential cross section based on the full data set (∫Ldt=36  pb[superscript -1]) acquired by the ATLAS d...

Description
Summary:Azimuthal decorrelations between the two central jets with the largest transverse momenta are sensitive to the dynamics of events with multiple jets. We present a measurement of the normalized differential cross section based on the full data set (∫Ldt=36  pb[superscript -1]) acquired by the ATLAS detector during the 2010 [sqrt]s=7  TeV proton-proton run of the LHC. The measured distributions include jets with transverse momenta up to 1.3 TeV, probing perturbative QCD in a high-energy regime.
