H2.00001: QCD at the Tevatron: Jets {\&} Photons plus Jets Invited Speaker: Recent results on the production of jets and photons at the Tevatron Collider are reviewed. The production of jets and photons dominates the hard scattering cross section at the Tevatron. These results can be used to probe the parton content of the proton, to look for physics beyond the standard model, and to characterize the predominant background for the study of many other processes. New results from D0 and CDF include the di-jet mass production cross section, inclusive photon cross section, the production of photons plus jets with heavy flavor, and the di-jet angular distribution.

H2.00002: QCD aspects of hadron collider physics Invited Speaker: Particle physics enters the new exciting era with the start of experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) later this year. There is high hope in the high-energy physics community that the LHC will take us to a new territory of physics beyond the Standard Model. Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) will play an important role in this journey since it allows us to describe quantitatively the outcome of hadronic collisions and provides solid foundations for New Physics searches. In this talk I will review the status of QCD as applied to problems in hadron collider physics and describe how recent advances in understanding physics of strong interactions may help in discovering physics beyond the Standard Model.

H2.00003: Recent QCD Results from the Tevatron Invited Speaker: With its center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV, the proton-antiproton Tevatron collider at Fermilab allows to study the Standard Model in previously unexplored energy regions. With large cross sections and little backgrounds, measurements of QCD processes are used to test the perturbative calculations, constrain the parton density functions of the proton and study phenomenological models. Recent Run II QCD measurements will be presented. [Preview Abstract] |
