Abstract
The energy-energy correlation function, and its associated asymmetry, has proved a powerful technique for quantitative tests of perturbative quantum chromodynamics in high energy e +e − annihilation. Here we present the neutral analogue for the p̄p collider, constructed from the transverse energies and azimuthal angles of the final state hadrons. Leading order QCD predictions are calculated. We show how the correlation function provides a measure of three-jet production which depends only weakly on the parton structure functions, and should therefore allow a direct measurement of the QCD coupling constant α S.
