Observation of planar three-jet events in e+e− annihilation and evidence for gluon bremsstrahlung

Abstract: Topological distributions of charged and neutral hadrons from the reaction e ÷ e-~ multihadrons are studied at x/s of about 30 GeV. An excess of planar events is observed at a rate which cannot be explained by statistical fluctuations in the standard two-jet process. The planar events, mostly consisting of a slim jet on one side and a broader jet on the other, are shown actually to possess three-jet structure by demonstrating that the broader jet itself consists of two collinear jets in its own rest system.

“…Transverse sphericity is a momentum space variable, commonly classified as an event shape observable [8]. Event shape analyses, well known from lepton collisions [9][10][11], also offer interesting possibilities in hadronic collisions, such as the study of hadronization effects, underlying event characterization and comparison of pQCD computations with measurements in high E T jet events [12][13][14].…”

“…A clear theoretical advantage of these event shapes is that they are calculable in perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (pQCD). This was realized early on and the calculability ultimately resulted in the confirmation of the parton model and, with data from experiments at higher √ s, the discovery of the gluon in three jet events at PETRA [1][2][3][4].…”

“…However, direct measurement of a particle's charge under quantum chromodynamics (QCD) or color is subtle, as all of the particles that are actually detected by experiment are color-neutral. A particle's color, or at least if it has non-zero color, is inferred from jet production and quantities measured on jets [3][4][5][6][7].…”
