Forces: Strong Nuclear or Color
Strong Nuclear Force:Quantum ChromodynamicsGluon Exchange, also holds the nucleus together.All quarks carry a color chargeGluons carry two color charges
Different from other Forces:Gluons can interact with other gluons.
Quarks and gluons are free at small distances (asymptotic freedom),
but not at large distances (confinement)
cannot observe bare color
Always observe quarks in multiplets: Baryons qqq (Proton neutron) and Mesons (quark antiquark pair )
Proton: uudAlso contains gluons and quark-antiquark pairs in a sea.
Neutron: udd
Pion: ud
Proton Antiproton Collisions
A word about units:HEP uses “natural units”
Collide protons and antiprotons each with 900 GeV of kinetic energy.
1c The mass of a proton is then given by

How we see different-sized objects:
QM: large momenta= small distances
Rutherford Scattering
The actual result was very different.
“It was almost as incredible as if you fired a 15 inch shell at a piece of tissue paper and it came back at you”
Implied the existence of the nucleus.
We perform a similar experiment at Fermilab to look for fundamental structure
Proton Structure
Proton contains three valance quarks: uud
Also contains sea of virtual quark anti-quark pairs.
All held together by gluons
Quarks and gluons are called partons.

Jets
Jets are formed by the scattered partons.
QCD requires that colourless objects are produced (hadrons) e.g..:, K, , etc.
At DØ a jet is defined to be the energy deposited in a cone of radius:
