Valence quarks and $k_T$ factorisation

Abstract

We study in the $k_T$ factorisation framework jet production at LHC energies. In particular we are interested in valence quark and gluon initiated jets. The calculation of the relevant hard matrix element is presented. A CCFM like evolutionequation for valence quark distribution is solved and the cross section for valence quark and gluon initiated process is calculated using Monte Carlo event generator CASCADE.
