Properties of jets in W boson events from 1.8 TeV p̄ p collisions

We have studied the properties of Z boson events produced in 1.8 TeV p{bar p} collisions using 19.3 pb{sup {minus}1} of integrated luminosity collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) during the 1992--1993 Tevatron run. We compare the characteristics of the hadronic jets associated with the Z to leading-order QCD calculations using the VECBOS Monte Carlo program. For a subsample of events, we identify B jets and compare their rates to those expected from events with generic QCD jets.
