Abstract:
A measurement of the angular correlations between beauty jetsproduced in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV at LHC is presented. A heavy-flavor enriched event sample is selected by a low-transverse-momentum single-muon trigger. Hadronic jets are identified as beauty jets by the presence of nearby high impact parameter tracks. The measured differential di-beauty jet production cross sections, dσdΔϕ and dσdΔR, are obtained from a sample whose integrated luminosity corresponds to \,\mathrm{pb}^{-1}.Thevisiblekinematicphase−spaceisdefinedbytherequirementoftwob−taggedjetswithp_{T} > 30GeVand\left|\eta\right| < 2.4,withanangularseparationof\Delta R > 0.6betweenthem,oneofthejetshasamuonwithinitsdecayproductswithp_{T} > 8GeVand\left|\eta\right| < 2.1$. The results obtained in data are compared with predictions based on perturbative QCD calculations.
