MEASUREMENT OF THE SQUARE-ROOTS DEPENDENCE OF JET PRODUCTION AT THE CERN PBARP COLLIDER

The production of very large transverse momentum (pT) hadron jets has been measured in the UA2 experiment at the CERN pp Collider for s=630 GeV. The inclusive jet production cross sections exhibit a pT-dependent increase with respect to the s=546 GeV data from previous Collider runs. This increase c...

Sumari:The production of very large transverse momentum (pT) hadron jets has been measured in the UA2 experiment at the CERN pp Collider for s=630 GeV. The inclusive jet production cross sections exhibit a pT-dependent increase with respect to the s=546 GeV data from previous Collider runs. This increase can be described both by QCD calculations and by approximate xT=2pT/√s scaling. No significant deviation of the data from QCD predictions is observed at very large pT, placing a lower limit on the characteristic scale Λc of a hypothetical superstrong contact interaction responsible for the binding of preons in the quark (Λc>370 GeV at 95% CL). © 1985.
