-'''ΔR''' ('''delta R''') is the angular distance between two [[Object|objects]]. It tells how much two objects are moving in the same direction.
-== At hadron colliders ==
-At [[Hadron collider|hadron colliders]], the angular distance is usually defined in a way that is [[Longitudinal boost invariance|invariant under longitudinal boosts]]. This is achieved by using the [[pseudorapidity]] difference of the objects rather than an actual angle. In the [[transverse plane]], the momentum of the [[initial state]] is ([[Primordial kt|essentially]]) zero, so the [[azimuthal angle]] can be used directly.
-== At lepton colliders ==
-At [[Lepton collider|lepton colliders]], the vector angle between the object momenta may be used directly.
