pp QCD collider program


pp kinematics (1)

Two incoming hadron beams:

Spectrum of longitudinal momenta determined by parton distribution functions

Centre-of-mass of parton-parton system is boosted with respect to two incoming hadrons, i.e. x1 ≠ x2

Therefore: Classify final state using variables that transform simply under longitudinal boosts:

Rapidity: y

Transverse momentum: pT

Azimuthal angle: φ

Four-vector formulation:

f1

f2

21



pp kinematics (2)

Property of rapidity:Additive under the restricted class of Lorentz transformations corresponding to a boost along the z direction.

Therefore: Rapidity differences (Δy) are boost invariant!

Pseudorapidity: y for m → 0

Transverse energy: Measured quantity in a calorimeter system, rather than pT!

Jet definition: Cone jet finder

Concentration of transverse energy ET in a cone of radius R:

Invariant under longitudinal boost!

In the two-dimensional plane, curves of constant R are circles around the jet axis!

pp kinematics (3)

Partonic centre-of-mass energy:

Bjorken x1 and x2 and rapidity y:

Partonic centre-of-mass angle!
