Measurement of the two-jet differential cross section in p(p)over-bar collisions at root s=1800 GeV

Abstract

A measurement is presented of the two-jet differential cross section d(3)sigma /dE(T)d eta (1)d eta (2) at center of mass energy roots = 1800 GeV in p (p) over bar collisions. The results are based on an integrated luminosity of 86 pb(-1) collected during 1994 to 1995 by the CDF Collaboration at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The differential cross section is measured as a function of the transverse energy E-T of a jet in the pseudorapidity region 0.1(1)\<0.7 for four different pseudorapidity bins of a second jet restricted to 0.1<\ eta (2) \<3.0. The results are compared with next-to-leading order QCD calculations determined using the CTEQ4 and MRST sets of parton distribution functions. None of the sets ex.amined in this analysis provides a good description of the data
