Inclusive Jet Production at the LHC Meets an Old Friend -- the Pi-Zero

Frank Taylor, Senior Research Scientist

Enrollment: Unlimited: No advance sign-up

A phenomenology developed over 40 years ago to describe Pi-Zero meson production measured in one of the very early experiments at Fermi Lab is applied to recent measurements of inclusive jet production at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Some surprising systematic effects are uncovered. The fun and consternation of trying to explain what is seen will be discussed.
