Triggering on high-transverse-momentum jets
We compare the characteristics of events selected by ''global'' and ''two-high'' triggers in large-transverse-energy hadron-hadron collisions. Using a QCD-based Monte Carlo model of Fox and collaborators, we find that the former is effectively a high-multiplicity trigger, the latter a high-planarity trigger favoring unusually clean jet events. Predictions of the model for both triggers are in good qualitative agreement with recent data.

Measurement of the dijet cross section in 400-GeV pp collisions
The invariant cross section for production of jet pairs in 400-GeV/c pp interactions has been measured as a function of p{tau} in the p{tau} range 4 to 9 GeV/c. The results are in good agreement with predictions of perturbative QCD models. 20 refs., 3 figs., 1 tab.

Evidence for multiple scattering of high energy partons in nuclei
Abstract New experimental information is presented about the effect of a nucleus on partons which have undergone a hard scatter. We have observed clear dijet events from 400 GeV / c p-nucleus interactions and compared them to dijets from pp interactions. Our results show that the angular width of the individual jets is only slightly affected by the presence of the nucleus, but the acoplanarity of the jet pairs is sharply increased.

Experimental information on the pion gluon distribution function
An experiment performed at Fermilab used double-arm calorimeter triggers to study di-jet production by 400 GeV protons and 200 GeVπ− mesons incident on liquid hydrogen. The observed ratio of positive to negative leading particles in the jets was compared forpp andπp production using a tree level parton scattering model. The results are moderately sensitive to the form of the pion gluon distribution function and yieldx g(x)⋍(1−x)2.75±0.40±0.75.

Search for QGP signals at AGS with a TPC spectrometer, and comparison of our event generator predictions for plasma model and cascade interactions
We have developed and successfully tested a TPC Magnetic Spectrometer to search for QGP signals produced by ion beams at AGS. We also developed a cascade and plasma event generator the predictions of which are used to illustrate how our technique can detect possible plasma signals.

Quark Dynamics of Polarization in Inclusive Hadron Production
The parton-recombination model plus SU(6) symmetry is used to relate polarizations in inclusive baryon production to those of the underlying constituent subprocesses. A large number of predictions are given, none of which disagrees with experiment. It is suggested that the polarization arises via Thomas precession of the quarks' spins in the recombination process. This description accounts for all of the qualitative features of the baryon and antibaryon polarization data.

Evidence that hadronic interiors have a denser matter than charge distribution
Abstract An analysis of high-energy elastic and inelastic diffraction scattering provides strong evidence that the charge and matter densities of hadrons are different. When hadrons are treated as composite objects, then a correct Glauber analysis leads to an optical model with important corrections due to the hadronic wave function: One expects inelastic diffraction due to the fluctuations in the matter density of hadrons. Conversely, the experimental existence of dissociation processes gives phenomenological information about the hadronic wave function. We find the distribution of matter in nucleons to be denser than the observed charge distribution. This result has a natural interpretation from a constituent description of hadrons made from spin 1 2 quarks and colored vector gluons, which is a generalization of the Chou-Yang picture of diffraction scattering.

Regge phenomenology of inclusive spectra in the central region
Abstract In the light of new data from the ISR, initial steps are taken towards the Regge analysis of inclusive spectra in the central region. It is shown that some features in the data necessitate the introduction of a further singularity in addition to the Pomeron and the meson trajectories ϱ - f - ω - A 2 . The resulting model yields many predictions via duality and factorisation which can easily be tested at ISR and Batavia energies.
