Experimental study of the emergence of two-jet dominance in pp collisions at √s = 630 GeV
Physics Letters B 165:4-6 (1985) 441-448
Abstract:
A heuristic model is used to describe data collected by the UA2 experiment at √s = 630 GeV. Distributions of the energy sharing between the leading clusters and the rest of the event are examined. The main features of these distributions can be described by a two-component model with soft, collective interactions dominating at low transverse energy and hard, constituent interactions dominating at high transverse energy. This model provides a simple picture of the emergence of two-jet dominance at SPS pp Collider energies. © 1985.Measurement of the s dependence of jet production at the CERN pp collider

Abstract:
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.Inclusive particle production in the transverse momentum range between 0.25 and 40 GeV/c at the CERN collider

Study of electron pairs below the Z0 mass produced in pp collisions at √s = 540 GeV
Physics Letters B 154:4 (1985) 338-346
Abstract:
From an integrated luminosity of ∫Ldt = 116 nb-1, 10events are found which contain an electron pair of mass in the range 12 < Mee < 26 GeV c2 and electron transverse momenta pTe > 5 GeV c. THe sample are described, as well as some featruyres of the The production characteristics of this sample are described, as well as some features of the estimated to be 2.2±0.6 events. The production characteristics of this sample are described, as well as some features of the associated event topology. Comparisons are made with the expectations for such electron pair production from the Drell-Yan mechanism and from the semi-leptonic decay of heavy flavours. © 1985.Measurement of jet fragmentation properties at the CERN pp Collider
