Experimental review of jet physics in hadronic collisions
In this contribution, a comprehensive review of the main aspects of high pT jet physics in Run II at the Tevatron is presented. Recent measurements on inclusive jet production are discussed using different jet algorithms and covering a wide region of jet transverse momentum and jet rapidity. Several measurements, sensitive to a proper description of soft gluon radiation and the underlying event in hadron collisions, are shown. Finally, high pT prompt photon measurements, and studies on the production of electroweak bosons in association with jets in the final state are discussed.

Z plus jets production at the tevatron
We present preliminary results on inclusive Z(→ee) boson plus jets production in pp collisions at s√ = 1.96 TeV, based on 1.7 fb-1 of data collected by the CDF experiment. Inclusive jet measurements are performed as function of pTjet and jet multiplicity for jets in the region of pTjet > 30 GeV/c and |yjet | < 2.1. Results are compared to NLO pQCD predictions and are found to be in good agreement.

Measurement of the Inclusive Z+Jet(s) Production Cross Section at CDF
We present preliminary results on inclusive Z(→ ee) boson plus jets production in p p ¯ collisions at s = 1.96 TeV , based on 1 fb −1 of data collected by the CDF experiment between February 2002 and March 2006. Inclusive jet measurements are performed as a function of p T jet and jet multiplicity for jets in the region p T jet > 30 GeV/c and | y jet | 2.1 . Results are compared to NLO pQCD predictions.

Jet Production at CDF
The Run 2 at Tevatron will define a new level of precision for QCD studies in hadron collisions. Both collider experiments, CDF and D0, expect to collect up to 15 fb{sup -1} of data in this new run period. The increase in instantaneous luminosity, center-of-mass energy (from 1.8 TeV to 2 TeV) and the improved acceptance of the detectors will allow stringent tests of the Standard Model (SM) predictions in extended regions of jet transverse energy, E{sub T}{sup jet}, and jet pseudorapidity, {eta}{sup jet}. In the following, a review of some of the most important QCD results from Run 1 is presented, together with first preliminary Run 2 measurements (based on the very first data collected by the experiment) and future prospects as the integrated luminosity increases.

Coherence effects between the initial and final state radiation in a dense QCD medium
Abstract In these proceedings contribution we review our recent results of medium modifications to the coherence pattern between the initial and final state radiation. We study single gluon production off a highly energetic parton that undergoes a hard scattering and subsequently crosses a dense QCD medium of finite size. Multiple scatterings lead to a partial suppression of the interferences between different emitters that opens the phase space for large angle emissions. We briefly discuss the generalization of this setup to describe gluon production in the case of pA collisions by including finite length and energy corrections. The configuration studied here may have phenomenological consequences in high-energy nuclear collisions.

The front-end system of the silicon drift detectors of ALICE
The ALICE experiment at CERN will have an inner tracker made of six barrels of semiconductor detectors. The two intermediate layers of the system will employ Silicon Drift Detectors (SDD) technology. The front-end electronics of the SDDs, which required the development of two full-custom integrated circuits, is reviewed in this paper. The design of the front-end hybrid is discussed and results obtained with full-size prototypes are presented.

Dilepton production as a measure of QGP thermalization time
We discuss dilepton production from a quark–gluon plasma which has a time-dependent anisotropy in momentum space. A phenomenological model for the hard momentum scale, phard(τ) and the plasma anisotropy parameter, ξ(τ), is presented. The model interpolates between early-time 1 + 1 free streaming behavior (τ τiso) and late-time ideal 1 + 1 hydrodynamical behavior (τ τiso). Using this model, we find that the dilepton rate arising from electromagnetic annihilations of quarks in the kinematic range 3 <pT< 8 GeV is sensitive to the assumed isotropization time of the system, τiso. Therefore high-energy dilepton production can be used to probe the degree of momentum-space isotropy of a quark–gluon plasma produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions and the time of onset of hydrodynamic expansion of the QGP.

Constraining relativistic viscous hydrodynamical evolution
We show that by requiring positivity of the longitudinal pressure it is possible to constrain the initial conditions one can use in second-order viscous hydrodynamical simulations of ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. We demonstrate this explicitly for (0+1)-dimensional viscous hydrodynamics and discuss how the constraint extends to higher dimensions. Additionally, we present an analytic approximation to the solution of (0+1)-dimensional second-order viscous hydrodynamical evolution equations appropriate to describe the evolution of matter in an ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collision.

A 32-channel, 0.25 /spl mu/m CMOS ASIC for the readout of the silicon drift detectors of the ALICE experiment
In this paper we present a 32 channel ASIC prototype for the readout of the silicon drift detectors (SDDs) of the ALICE experiment. The ASIC integrates on the same substrate 32 transimpedance amplifiers, a 32 /spl times/ 256 cell analogue memory and 16 successive approximation 10 bit A/D converters. The circuit amplifies and samples at 40 MS/s the input signal in a continuous way. When an external trigger signal validates the acquisition, the sampling is stopped and the data are digitized at lower speed (0.5 MS/s). The chip has been designed and fabricated in a commercial 0.25 /spl mu/m CMOS technology. It has been extensively tested both on a bench and connected with a detector in several beam tests. In this paper both design issues and test results are presented. The radiation tolerance of the design has been increased by special layout techniques. Total dose irradiation tests are also presented.
