Model uncertainty in measuring the gluon jet fraction at the hadron collider

The work proposes a new method for measuring the gluon jet fraction in jet sample produced at the hadron collider. This method uses model quark/gluon templates - distributions of quark and gluon jets over the jet macro parameter. Within the framework of this method, it is possible to find a model uncertainty of measurement associated with the deviation of model quark/gluon templates from the true ones. The issue of data-motivated corrections to the model quark/gluon templates is discussed.

On measuring the characteristics of quark and gluon jets in hadron-hadron collisions

To measure the characteristics of quark and gluon jets in hadron-hadron collisions, two samples of jets are used. Given the large statistics of jets at the LHC, the two-sample method requires taking into account the following corrections: (1) use of measured fractions of quark and gluon jets instead of the model ones, (2) amendment for the contribution of jets with an unidentified flavour, (3) taking into account the dependence of the distributions of quark and gluon jets on the conditions for jet sample selections. The paper presents an improved two-sample method that takes into account these corrections.
