A Monte Carlo Study on the Identification of Quark-gluon Fusion Product in QCD-instanton Induced Processes in Deep-inelastic Scattering

Abstract

Different methods to reconstruct the quark-gluon fusion product and current jet are tried in deep-inelastic e-p scattering events with instanton as background generated by QCDINS Monte Carlo code. A comparison of these methods are performed and a good method is found which can reconstruct well the energies of current jet and instanton product as well as the mass of the latter. The isotropy property of the instanton product and jet are calculated and compared. A parameter characterizing the degree of ``hardness'' of the instanton product is presented.
