Experimental Tests of Quantum Chromodynamics in High-p_⊥ Jet Production in 200-GeV/c Hadron-Proton Collisions

Abstract

Data on inclusive jet production in the transverse-momentum (p_⊥) range 0-8 GeV/c for 200-GeV/c p, π^-, π^+, K^-, K^+, and p incident on a hydrogen target are presented. The jet cross section is fully corrected for losses and biases, and compared with the predictions of a model based on quantum chromodynamics. Both the absolute cross section and the inclusive charged-particle distributions inside and outside the jet are in qualitative agreement with the model.
