Evidence for gluon interference in hadronic Z decays

Abstract: We present evidence for soft gluon interference, as required by QCD. This interference is expected to manifest itself in an angular ordering of the gluons radiated within a jet. Using hadronic decays of the Z boson in the L3 detector at LEP, we compare variables sensitive to such an angular ordering, namely the energy-energy correlation asymmetry and the newly introduced particle-particle correlation asymmetry, with the predictions of various parton shower models. Only those models which incorporate the expect… Show more

“…An interesting aspect of the relative spherical angle correlation is its sensitivity to the soft gluon interference. This has been investigated experimentally with the observable "Particle-Particle Correlation" (PPC) and its asymmetry (PPCA) in the relative angle χ ≡ ϑ 12 [201,207,208,209] which is closely related but not identical to the above correlationr(ϑ 12 ):…”

“…Color coherence phenomena in the final state have been very well established in e + e − annihilations [1][2][3][4][5][6], in what has been termed the "string" [7] or "drag" [8] effect. Particle production in the region between the quark and antiquark jets in e + e − → qqg events is suppressed.…”

“…Color coherence phenomena in the final state have been studied since the early 1980's in e + e − annihilations [1][2][3][4][5][6] and are very well established. The study of coherence effects in hadron-hadron collisions is considerably more subtle than those in e + e − annihilations due to the presence of colored constituents in both the initial and final states.…”
