Abstract
Analysis of colliding-beam hadron experiments [Formula: see text] often depend upon observation of "jets" — a highly collimated spray of particles such as π, K, e, μ and γ's forming clusters of energy deposition in calorimeters. In this paper we outline how to define jets from such clusters and discuss the meaning of jet quantities such as transverse energy and mass. Data from the DØ experiment are used to illustrate these concepts. In addition, we review the motivations for using certain optimal coordinates for describing energy–momentum four-vectors, and derive interesting relationships among the kinematic variables.
