Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Two or more jets are frequently produced as a result of proton-proton collisions. The angular distribution of these jets can provide a wealth of information about the underlying interactions taking place as the protons collide. In this study, we use a simple observable called the dijet centrality ratio to examine this angular distribution, and search a 35.7 pb1 sample of data at [square root]s = 7 TeV from CERN's Large Hadron Collider for evidence of quark substructure. We expect to set a 95% confidence limit on the energy scale of such interactions of [lambda]
