We report a measurement of the differential cross section, d{\sigma}/d(cos {\theta}t), for top-quark-pair production as a function of the top-quark production angle in proton-antiproton collisions at sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV. This measurement is performed using data collected with the CDF II detector at the Tevatron, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9.4/fb. We employ the Legendre polynomials to characterize the shape of the differential cross section at the parton level. The observed Legendre coefficients are in good agreement with the prediction of the next-to-leading-order standard-model calculation, with the exception of an excess linear-term coefficient, a1 = 0.40 +- 0.12, compared to the standard-model prediction of a1 = 0.15^{+0.07}_{-0.03}.

Measurement of the Cross Section for Prompt Isolated Diphoton Production in p\bar p Collisions at \sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV

Phys.Rev.D 84 (2011) 052006, 2011.

Inspire Record 915978 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.60557

This article reports a measurement of the production cross section of prompt isolated photon pairs in proton-antiproton collisions at \sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV using the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 5.36/fb. The cross section is presented as a function of kinematic variables sensitive to the reaction mechanisms. The results are compared with three perturbative QCD calculations: (1) a leading order parton shower Monte Carlo, (2) a fixed next-to-leading order calculation and (3) a next-to-leading order/next-to-next-to-leading-log resummed calculation. The comparisons show that, within their known limitations, all calculations predict the main features of the data, but no calculation adequately describes all aspects of the data.

Properties of six jet events with large six jet mass at the Fermilab proton - anti-proton collider

The CDF collaboration Abe, F. ; Akimoto, H. ; Akopian, A. ; et al.

Phys.Rev.D 56 (1997) 2532-2543, 1997.

Inspire Record 442265 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.53980

We describe the properties of six-jet events, with the six-jet mass exceeding 520GeV/c2, produced at the Fermilab proton-antiproton collider operating at a center-of-mass energy of 1.8 TeV. Observed distributions for a set of 20 multijet variables are compared with predictions from the HERWIG QCD parton shower Monte Carlo program, the NJETS leading order QCD matrix element Monte Carlo program, and a phase-space model in which six-jet events are distributed uniformly over the kinematically allowed region of the six-body phase space. In general the QCD predictions provide a good description of the observed six-jet distributions.

Further Properties of High-Mass Multijet Events at the Fermilab Proton-Antiproton Collider

The CDF collaboration Abe, F. ; Akimoto, H. ; Akopian, A. ; et al.

Phys.Rev.D 54 (1996) 4221-4233, 1996.

Inspire Record 418504 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.52862

The properties of high-mass multijet events produced at the Fermilab proton-antiproton collider are compared with leading order QCD matrix element predictions, QCD parton shower Monte Carlo predictions, and the predictions from a model in which events are distributed uniformly over the available multibody phase-space. Multijet distributions corresponding to (4N-4) variables that span the N-body parameter space are found to be well described by the QCD calculations for inclusive three-jet, four-jet, and five-jet events. The agreement between data, QCD Matrix Element calculations, and QCD parton shower Monte Carlo predictions suggests that 2 -> 2 scattering plus gluon radiation provides a good first approximation to the full LO QCD matrix element for events with three, four, or even five jets in the final state.

Properties of high mass multi - jet events at the Fermilab proton - anti-proton collider

The CDF collaboration Abe, F. ; Albrow, M.G. ; Amendolia, S.R. ; et al.

Phys.Rev.Lett. 75 (1995) 608-612, 1995.

Inspire Record 393345 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.52833

The properties of two-, three-, four-, five-, and six-jet events with multijet masses >600 GeV /c2 are compared with QCD predictions. The shapes of the multijet-mass and leading-jet-angular distributions are approximately independent of jet multiplicity and are well described by the NJETS matrix element calculation and the HERWIG parton shower Monte Carlo predictions. The observed jet transverse momentum distributions for three- and four-jet events discriminate between the matrix element and parton shower predictions, the data favoring the matrix element calculation.

W boson + jet angular distribution in p anti-p collisions at s**(1/2) = 1.8-TeV

The CDF collaboration Abe, F. ; Albrow, M.G. ; Amidei, D. ; et al.

Phys.Rev.Lett. 73 (1994) 2296-2300, 1994.

Inspire Record 374152 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.42492

The W+jet angular distribution is measured using W→eν events recorded with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) during the 1988-89 and 1992-93 Tevatron runs. The data agree well with both a leading order and a next-to-leading order theoretical prediction. The shape of the angular distribution is similar to that observed in photon + jet data and significantly different from that observed in dijet data.

The Center-of-mass angular distribution of prompt photons produced in p anti-p collisions at s**(1/2) = 1.8-TeV

The CDF collaboration Abe, F. ; Albrow, Michael G. ; Amidei, Dante E. ; et al.

Phys.Rev.Lett. 71 (1993) 679-683, 1993.

Inspire Record 354237 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.53953

Data taken with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) during the 1988–1989 run of the Tevatron are used to measure the distribution of the center-of-mass (rest frame of the initial state partons) angle between isolated prompt photons and the beam direction. The shape of the angular distribution for photon-jet events is found to be significantly different from that observed in dijet data. The QCD predictions show qualitative agreement with the observed prompt photon angular distribution.

THE H-3 + P ---> P + N + D REACTION AT A TRITIUM MOMENTUM OF 5-GEV/C

Nucl.Phys.A 506 (1990) 471-481, 1990.

Inspire Record 297384 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.15700

Using a liquid hydrogen bubble chamber of the ITEP, 80 cm in diameter, a study was made of the 3 H + p → p + n + d reaction with an incident momentum of 5 GeV/c for the tritium nuclei. The reaction cross section was 20.4 ± 0.2 mb. The angular, momentum and mass distributions of the reaction products in the 4π geometry have been obtained. We have separated the phase-space regions corresponding to quasi-free pn scattering and to the final-state Nd interaction. In the region of quasi-free pn scattering various experimental spectra are compared with the theoretical predictions, by using pole diagrams with nuclear vertex functions for three NN potentials: the Yamaguchi potential, the RSC potential and the potential in the quark-compound bag model. In the mass spectra of pn, pd and nd systems no evidence for the exhibition of two- and three-baryon resonances has been obtained.

Inspire Record 201523 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.39601

New data on the observation and study of a narrow resonance decaying intoΣ−(1,385)K+ have been obtained. The mass of the resonance is (1,956−6+8) MeV/c2, and its width is (27±15) MeV/c2. The resonance is produced in the diffraction dissociation of neutrons on quasi-free nucleons of carbon nuclei. The slope parameter of the differential cross section inPT2 is (9.9±3.0) (GeV/c)−2. The cross section times the branching ratio is (0.22±0.04) μb per nucleon. The resonance has one of the natural spinparities: 5/2+, 7/2− and so on.
