Corrections to Angular Ordering in Multiple Hadroprodroproduction

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v2

Abstract

One of the key ideas in describing the multiparticle production at high energies in the perturbative QCD is the angular ordering in successive soft-gluon emission. We analyse the angular distribution of particles in a jet, and investigate the corrections to the angular ordering. At a small angle from the jet direction, the angular ordering is exact at the next-to-leading order. At a large angle, the angular ordering overestimates the angular particle density by a factor (1γlncos2(θ/2))(1-\gamma\ln \cos^2(\theta/2)), where γ\gamma is the anomalous dimension of the multiplicity. The O(γ)O(\gamma) correction restores the boost invariance of the cross section.
