Min-Bias Physics: Fitting the Data

Rick Field and Dave Stuart

Talk by Rick Field presented at the QCD Meeeting

Study the CDF "Min-Bias" Data with the goal of providing a Monte-Carlo Generator that will fit the data. Would like the generator to describe all the features of the entire inelastic cross section (low PT and high PT)!

Look at the data (plot many observables) and compare to Isajet and Pythia.

Plot distributions: inclusive PT, PTmax, PTsum, Multiplicity, inclusive jet PT, PTjet1, PTjet2, PTjet3.

Look at correlations: N-flow and PT-flow relative to PTmax direction.

Look at PTmax dependence (plot averages versus PTmax): Nchg, PTsum, avePT, Njet, NchgJet1, PTjet1, PTjet2, PTjet3, JetSize, etc..

Look at Multiplicity dependence (plot averages versus Nchg): PTmax, PTsum, avePT, Njet, NchgJet1, PTjet1, PTjet2, PTjet3, JetSize, etc..

Look at PTjet1 dependence (plot averages versus PTjet1): PTmax, Njet, NchgJet1, PTjet2, PTjet3, JetSize, etc..

Look at Jet Development: N-flow and PT-flow relative to Jet1 direction versus PTjet1.

Transparencies are available (38 pages) as a zipped postscript file (PS) or as an Adobe Acrobat file (PDF).
