Abstract
The region eta > 3 is a kinematic range of interest for Higgs searches, QCD physics and beyond the Standard Model studies in pp interactions at TeV energies. We explore the feasibility of measuring jets in the LHCb experiment, mainly devoted to precision measurements in the b-physics domain, but covering the very forward region 2 < ´ < 4.5. The jets reconstruction capabilities of LHCb are presented, together with some preliminary results on inclusive jets and dijets that show the potential interest of LHCb results for low-x/high-Q2 perturbative QCD tests. The data have been taken at LHC during the 2010 runs at squareroot(s) = 7 TeV. 1ConferenceI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
