Monte Carlo studies of high transverse energy hadronic interactions

A four jet Monte Carlo based on the Feynman-Field model has been used to simulate hadronic interactions which deposit high transverse energy into a large solid angle calorimeter. It is found that the Monte Carlo results are particularly sensitive to the method used to ensure overall energy conservation, to the minimum vertical bar tarc vertical bar of the QCD subprocess, and to the p/sub T/ with respect to the jet axis used in the fragmentation. With reasonable choices of these features of the Monte Carlo, good agreement with data at Fermilab energies is obtained. With other choices the Monte Carlo gives very different results which are in strong disagreement with the data
