Description
Jets, clusters of collimated particles produced in high energy proton-proton ($pp$) collisions, are an excellent tool to study the internal structure of the proton. According to perturbative QCD calculations, for center of mass energies of $\sqrt{s} = $ 200 and 510 GeV at RHIC, jet production in the mid pseudo-rapidity, $|\eta| <$ 1, is dominated by quark-gluon and gluon-gluon scattering processes. These jets are sensitive to gluons in the proton with momentum fraction 0.01 $
