Abstract: (arXiv)
We present the first measurement of two-particle momentum correlations in jets produced in ppˉp\bar p collisions at s=1.96\sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV. Results are obtained for charged particles within a restricted cone with an opening angle of 0.5 radians around the jet axis and for events with dijet masses between 66 and 563 GeV/c2^{2}. A comparison of the experimental data to theoretical predictions obtained for partons within the framework of resummed perturbative QCD in the next-to-leading log approximation (NLLA) shows that the parton momentum correlations survive the hadronization stage of jet fragmentation, giving further support to the hypothesis of local parton-hadron duality. The extracted value of the NLLA parton shower cutoff scale QeffQ_\mathit{eff} is found to be (1.40.7+0.9)×100(1.4^{+0.9}_{-0.7})\times 100 MeV.
