Data Plots Inclusive Jet Production
Additonal Raw Plots
Inclusive Jet Production Cross Section based on 177 pb-1 of CDF Run 2 Data
Data Plots Search for New Particles Decaying into DiJets
A search for new particles decaying to dijets is performed using 75 pb-1 of data from run 2. The run 2 dijet mass spectrum begins at 180 GeV and falls steeply. The highest mass event has a dijet mass of 1364 GeV. (All results are preliminary.)
Data Plots Study of Jet Shapes and E-Flows in Inclusive Dijet Production
This analysis presents first preliminary results on jet shapes and energy flows in inclusive dijet production based on 77 pb-1 of Run II data. Jets are searched for using a cone algorithm with radius R = 0.7. Jet shapes are determined using both calorimeter towers and tracks from the COT. The measurements are compared to leading-order QCD Monte Carlo predictions.
Data Plots Diffractive Dijet Production at 1.96 TeV
The diffractive dijet events studied are characterized by the presence of two jets resulting from a hard scattering and a leading antiproton, which escapes the collision intact. Using Run II data and dedicated diffractive triggers, a measurement of the diffractive structure function of the antiproton and a study of Double Pomeron Exchange (DPE) event candidates are presented.
Data Plots Jet Evolution and the "Underlyiing Event" in Run 2
The behavior of the "underlying event" in hard scattering proton-antiproton collisions at 1.96 TeV is studied and compared with PYTHIA Tune A and with the CDF published Run 1 analysis. The "underlying event" is studied using both "charged particle jets" (as was done in our Run 1 analysis) and using "calorimeter jets". As expected the properties of the "underlying event" are the same for both the "charged particle jet" and the "calorimeter jet" approach and both agree with the Run 1 analysis.
Data Plots Gamma+heavy Quark Production in Run 2
We measure the photon + b and photon + c cross-sections. We present cross-sections both as a function of photon Et, in order to test QCD predictions at different energy scales, and for all photons with an Et exceeding 25 GeV to gain maximal statistical sensitivity to deviations that could signal new physics production. Results are compared to and found to be consistent with Pythia LO predictions. We find no evidence so far of new physics production.
