Description

Recent deep inelastic and prompt photon data are used to put quantitative limits on ΛM-barS-bar and the gluon distribution, taking fully into account the correlations between the two. The results are used to assess the potential discriminating power of precision measurements of the large transverse momentum jet cross section at the FNAL pp-bar collider, and to estimate the theoretical error on a top quark mass measurement or lower limit at the same collider. We estimate this latter error at approximately ±4 GeV at present, with the prospect of some slight improvement from an additional calibration from the jet cross section. (author)
