In particle physics, the acoplanarity of a scattering experiment measures the degree to which the paths of the scattered particles deviate from being coplanar. Measurements of acoplanarity provide a test of perturbative quantum chromodynamics, because QCD predicts that the emission of gluons can lead to acoplanar scattering events.〔 〕 ==Measures of acoplanarity== For a two-jet final state, a useful measure of acoplanartiy is : where are the azimuthal angles of the final state jets with respect to the beam line.〔 〕 An alternative measure of acoplanarity which is infrared safe and which works for broad jets of many particles is given by : where are the momenta of the final state particles and are the components of these momenta perpendicular to a plane chosen such that A is minimized.〔 In the case of two coplanar final state particles, the plane which minimizes A would contain the paths of both particles and the beamline, and A would equal 0. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Acoplanarity」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
