摘要：At lowest-order QCD, the diagrams that contribute to neutral current (NC) deep inelastic ep scattering
(DIS) at HERA are the boson-gluon fusion (BGF) (Vg ! q ¯ q, where V = g or Z0) and
QCD-Compton (QCDC) (Vq! qg) processes. Any observable can be expressed as the convolution
of the parton densities in the proton, fa, times the matrix elements. Thus, in the regions
of phase space where the parton densities are well constrained, measurements of e.g. jet cross
sections can be used to perform tests of perturbative QCD (pQCD) and determinations of as. The
hadronic final state in NC DIS can also be used to study the pattern of parton radiation by means
e.g. of subjets inside jets. Subjets observables are calculable in pQCD and so they provide stringent
tests of the theory. On the other hand, the hadronisation process, a non-perturbative effect,
can be studied by means of the event shapes. Recent developments on the model of power-law
corrections have prompted revived interest in understanding hadronisation within the framework
of pQCD.
Recent results on subjet distributions from ZEUS are presented. The measured normalised cross
sections were used to study the pattern of parton radiation. The comparison of the measurements
with leading-logarithm parton-shower Monte Carlo models and perturbative QCD calculations
shows a good agreement between data and predictions. Results on event-shape mean values
and distributions are also presented. These measurements were used to test the predictions of
the power-correction model for hadronisation. A universal value, within 10%, of the effective
parameter a¯ 0 of the model was obtained.
