Jet event shape n Event-shape variables are functions of the four momenta in the hadronic final state that characterize the topology of an event’s energy flow. They are sensitive to QCD radiation (and correspondingly to the strong coupling) insofar as gluon emission changes the shape of the energy flow.

Transverse EEC asymmetry is defined as

2

The first sum on the right-hand side in the second of the

above equations is over the events A with total transverse

energy EAT =

⇤a ET

Aa ⇤ Emin

T , with the EminT set by the

experimental setup. The second sum is over the pairs of

partons (a, b) whose transverse momenta have relative

azimuthal angle ⇧ to ⇧+�⇧.In leading order QCD, the transverse energy spectrum

d⌅/dET is a convolution of the parton distribution func-

tions (PDFs) with the 2 ⇧ 2 hard scattering partonic

subprocesses. Away from the end-points, i.e., for ⇧ ⌃= 0⇥

and ⇧ ⌃= 180⇥, in the leading order in �s, the energy-

weighted cross section d2⇥/dET d⇧ involves the convolu-

tion of the PDFs with the 2 ⇧ 3 subprocesses, such as

gg ⇧ ggg. Thus, schematically, the leading contribution

for the transverse EEC function is calculated from the

following expression:

1

⌅⌅d⇥⌅

d⇧=

⇥ai,bifa1/p(x1)fa2/p(x2) ⌃ ⇥̂a1a2⇤b1b2b3

⇥ai,bifa1/p(x1)fa2/p(x2) ⌃ ⌅̂a1a2⇤b1b2, (2)

where ⇥̂a1a2⇤b1b2b3 is the transverse energy-energy

weighted partonic cross section, xi (i = 1, 2) are the

fractional longitudinal momenta carried by the partons,

fa1/p(x1) and fa2/p(x2) are the PDFs, the ⌃ denotes a

convolution over the appropriate variables. The function

defined in Eq. (2) depends not only on ⇧, but also on

the ratio EminT /

⌥s and the rapidity variable ⇥. In gen-

eral, the numerator and the denominator in Eq. (2) have

a di⇤erent dependence on these variables, as the PDFs

are weighted di⇤erently. Hence, this function in hadronic

collisions is an “average” angular function, weighted ac-

cording to the di⇤erent PDFs, as opposed to its e+e�

counterpart, in which case there is no initial state QCD

radiation involved. However, as already observed in [16],

certain normalized distributions for the various subpro-

cesses contributing to the 2 ⇧ 3 hard scatterings are

similar, and the same combination of PDFs enters in the

2 ⇧ 2 and 2 ⇧ 3 cross sections, hence the transverse

EEC cross section is to a good approximation indepen-dent of the PDFs (see, Fig. 1 in [16]). Thus, for a fixed

rapidity range |⇥| < ⇥c and the variable ET/⌥s, one has

an approximate factorized result, which in the LO in �s

reads as

⌅⌅d⇥⌅

d⇧⌅ �s(µ)

⇤F (⇧) , (3)

where µ is a factorization scale. The function F (⇧) andthe corresponding tranverse EEC asymmetry defined as

were worked out in [16] in the leading order of �s for the

CERN SPS pp̄ collider at⌥s = 540 GeV. In particular,

it was shown that the transverse EEC functions for the

gg-, gq- and qq̄-scatterings had very similar shapes, and

their relative contributions were found consistent to a

good approximation with the ratio of the corresponding

color factors 1:4/9:16/81 for the gg, gq(= gq̄) and qq̄initial states over a large range of ⇧. The relative cross

sections get closer to this ratio of the color factors for the

backward angles (⇧ ⌅ 180⇥), as expected in the leading

log approximation. However, the ratios hold also in the

angular region where the sub-leading contributions are

not expected to follow the color factor ratio.

We have used the existing program NLOJET++ [9],

which has been checked in a number of independent

NLO jet calculations [21], to compute the transverse EEC

and its asymmetry AEEC in the NLO accuracy for the

LHC proton-proton center-of-mass energy⌥s = 7 TeV.

Schematically, this entails the calculations of the 2 ⇧ 3

partonic subprocesses in the NLO accuracy and of the

2 ⇧ 4 partonic processes in the leading order in �s(µ),which contribute to the numerator on the r.h.s. of Eq. (2).

We have restricted the azimuthal angle range by cutting

out regions near ⇧ = 0⇥ and ⇧ = 180⇥. This would,

in particular, remove the self-correlations (a = b) and

frees us from calculating the O(�2s) (or two-loop) virtual

corrections to the 2 ⇧ 2 processes. Thus, with the az-

imuthal angle cut, the numerator in Eq. (2) is calculated

from the 2 ⇧ 3 and 2 ⇧ 4 processes to O(�4s). The

denominator in Eq. (2) includes the 2 ⇧ 2 and 2 ⇧ 3

processes, which are calculated up to and including the

O(�3s) corrections.

In the NLO accuracy, one can express the EEC cross

section as

⌅⌅d⇥⌅

d⇧⌅ �s(µ)

⇤F (⇧)

�s(µ)

⇤G(⇧)

It is customary to lump the NLO corrections in a so-

called K-factor (which, in general, is a non-trivial func-

tion of ⇧), defined as

K(⇧) ⇥ 1 +�s(µ)

⇤G(⇧) . (6)

The principal result of this Letter is the calculation of

the NLO function K(⇧) and in demonstrating the insen-

sitivity of the EEC and the AEEC functions, calculated

to NLO accuracy, to the various intrinsic parametric and

underlying event uncertainties.

We now give details of the computations: In tran-

scribing the NLOJET++ [9] program, we have replaced

the default structure functions therein by the state of

the art PDFs, for which we use the MSTW [22] and

the CT10 [23] sets, and have also replaced the kT jet

§  Jets and event shapes are useful tools to test QCD §  We explored the transverse EEC at hadron collider

v  boost invariant v  Almost independent of structure functions v  Show low sensitivity to scale v  Do not depend on modeling underlying events v  Preserve sensitivity to αs

Summary

These measurements will prove to be powerful techniques for the quantitative tests of perturbative QCD using event shape variables and in the measurement of αs in hadron colliders.
