Kt Algorithm Page

Before getting involved in the Forwared Proton Detector, my previous advisor was interested in the Kt algorithm. This is an algorithm that attempts to find jets in a calorimeter using fragmentation arguments rather than geometric arguments to find jets. While working with this group, I helped create the Run I Kt ntuple and used JETRAD to create some plots.

You can get to the run1 Kt algorightm page here.
For RunII, the Kt information can be refrenced from the QCD pages here.

At the bottom of the page, you can find links to talks that I have given.

Kt Ntuple

I worked with Rob Snihur to generate the Run I Kt ntuple. It contains about 99% of the Run 1b data spread across aproximately 50 ntuples. To use this information, the ntuples need to be chained together using PAW.

Status

I used to maintain the locations and links to do this but no longer do so. For the latest information on the location and method of accessing the ntuples please contact Veronica Sorin.

Kt JETRAD

I used JETRAD to generate some theory plots. JETRAD is a useful Monte Carlo generator that produces cross section plots using various jet algorithms and parton distribution functions.

Status

Here is a plot (ps) of JETRAD theory curves generated with the cteq4m pdf. The plot on the left is a superpositon of the Kt and Cone theory curves and the plot on the right is a comparison of (Kt - Cone) / Cone to determine if the Kt algorithm implimentation of JETRAD is returning reasonable values. The cone was run with an R = 0.7 and the KT was run with a dsep = 1.0.

Talks

Here you can get access to talks I've given involving the Kt algorigthm.

Here is a link to a talk I gave at UTA during a DOE review in July 2000 about my involvment with the Kt group. (ppt)
