Description

We present the first measurement of dijet angular distributions in Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The measurement is based on a dataset, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of approx 0.7 fb-1 taken with the D0 detector. Shapes of dijet angular distributions have been measured over a range of dijet masses, from 0.25 TeV and beyond 1TeV. The data are in good agreement with the predictions of perturbative QCD and are used to constrain new physics models including quark compositeness, large extra dimensions, and TeV-1 scale extra dimensions.
