Measurement of the dijet cross section in 400-GeV/<i>c pp</i>interactions

Abstract

The invariant cross section for production of jet pairs in 400-GeV/c pp interactions has been measured as a function of ${p}_{T}$ in the ${p}_{T}$ range 4 to 9 GeV/c. The results are in good agreement with predictions of a perturbative QCD model. Details of the experiment and the procedures used to extract the jet signal are given.
