Description

Tests of QCD, and its representation by Monte Carlo shower models such as PYTHIA or HERWIG, are proposed for low-Q2 events at the e-p collider HERA. The tests are based on observable features that distinguish between quark jets and gluon jets. They therefore provide sensitivity to the description of parton branching, and to the parton distributions in the photon and proton. (orig.)
