| 5 | At the LHC, partons in the incoming beams (beam energy %$E_b$%=7 !TeV) collide with a momementum fraction %$x_{1,2}$% and produce two jets with negligible mass, transverse momentum %$p_T$% and rapidities %$y_{3,4}$%. |

| 9 | Show that %$x_1 = \frac{p_T}{\sqrt{s}} ( e^{y_3}+ e^{y_4}), x_2 = \frac{p_T}{\sqrt{s}} ( e^{-y_3}+ e^{-y_4})\,. $% |

| 23 | Discuss the regions of %$x_{1,2}, M_{JJ}$% and %$\theta^*$% that can be studied at the LHC with a jet trigger of %$p_T > 35 $% GeV and %$||y_{3,4}||<3$%. |
