CDF Logo Events with Large Total Transverse Energy

CDF has recorded data at the Fermilab Tevatron proton-antiproton collider operating at a center-of-mass energy of 1.8 TeV. This is the highest hadron-hadron collision energy available in the laboratory. It is therefore natural to ask "What do the hottest events produced in the highest energy collisions look like ?" To address this question CDF has recorded the events with the highest total-transverse-energies (Click here for definition). Events are observed with total-transverse-energies up to about 1 TeV. These events are the result of interactions at distance scales of a few times 10^-17 cm, almost an order of magnitude smaller than the weak scale !
