A Monte Carlo study on the production scale and internal structure of jets in high energy collisions

The production scale and internal structure of jets produced in high energy collisions are studied using Jetset7.4 and Herwig5.9 Monte Carlo generators. Two scales are found. One is the jet-development scale, which determines the size of the jet developed from a mother-parton. The other one is the jet-production scale, the jets produced with this scale are the most consistent with QCD jet-production dynamics and will provide the most reliable dynamical information about their mother-partons.
