A multiple-interaction model for the event structure in hadron collisions

Sjöstrand, Torbjörn, van Zijl, Maria·1987·Physical Review D

Abstract

A detailed model for hadronic events is presented, with particular emphasis put on the event structure at low transverse momenta, i.e., ``beam jets'' and ``minijets.'' Specifically, we argue that hadronic events contain a varying number of semihard parton-parton interactions, with an average interaction rate given by perturbative QCD, and the variation between different events given by Poissonian statistics for each impact parameter separately. Comparisons with data are presented for a number of properties, such as multiplicity distributions, forward-backward correlations, minijet phenomenology, and the ``pedestal effect.'' Also, predictions for the behavior at higher energies are included.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
