# Dijet Azimuthal Decorrelations in pp Collisions at 7 TeV

## Abstract

Measurements of dijet azimuthal decorrelations in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV using the CMS detector at the CERN LHC are presented. The analysis is based on an inclusive dijet event sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.9 . The results are compared to predictions from perturbative QCD calculations and various Monte Carlo event generators. The dijet azimuthal distributions are found to be sensitive to initial-state gluon radiation.

 Normalized distributions in several regions, scaled by the multiplicative factors given in the figure for easier presentation. The curves represent predictions from PYTHIA6, PYTHIA8, HERWIG++, and MADGRAPH. The error bars on the data points include statistical and systematic uncertainties. Ratios of measured normalized distributions to PYTHIA6, PYTHIA8, HERWIG++, and MADGRAPH predictions in several regions. The shaded bands indicate the total systematic uncertainty. Normalized distributions in several regions, scaled by the multiplicative factors given in the figure for easier presentation. The curves represent predictions from LO (dotted line) and NLO pQCD (solid line). Non-perturbative corrections have been applied to the predictions. The error bars on the data points include statistical and systematic uncertainties. This plot is included in the arXiv version but not in the PRL version! Ratios of measured normalized distributions to NLO pQCD predictions with non-perturbative corrections in several regions. The error bars on the data points include statistical and systematic uncertainties. The effect on the NLO pQCD predictions due to and scale variations and PDF uncertainties, as well as the uncertainties from the non-perturbative corrections are shown. Ratios of measured normalized distributions to PYTHIA6 tune D6T with various values of in several regions. The shaded bands indicate the total systematic uncertainty.
