| Abstract: Collinear beauty quark production within jets provides a sensitive test of perturbative quantum chromodynamics (pQCD) and of the modeling of $ \mathrm{b}\bar{\mathrm{b}} $ branchings during parton shower evolution and fragmentation. Normalized distributions of the angular separation and invariant mass of same-sign muon pairs are measured in proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s}= $ 5.02 TeV, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 306 $ \mathrm{pb}^{-1} $ collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC in 2017. The measurement is performed for jets with $ p_\mathrm{T} > $ 100 GeV containing two same-sign muons, each with $ p_\mathrm{T} > $ 8 GeV. Same-sign muon pairs are used to select a high-purity sample of jets containing two beauty hadrons, primarily produced through $ \mathrm{g} \to \mathrm{b}\bar{\mathrm{b}} $ splittings. The same-sign topology arises mainly when one muon is produced directly from the decay of a b-hadron, and the other muon of the same charge is produced in a charm hadron decay originating from the other b hadron. The angular separation between the same-sign muons from the sequential decay of the B hadrons retains sensitivity to the underlying properties of the $ \mathrm{b}\bar{\mathrm{b}} $ pair through the measured $ \Delta R_{\mu\mu} $ and $ m_{\mu\mu} $ distributions. They are corrected to the stable particle-level and compared with event-generator predictions incorporating leading- and next-to-leading-order pQCD calculations interfaced with parton showers and the respective hadronization effects. The results provide new benchmarks for the modeling of collinear beauty production and establish a proton-proton baseline for future heavy-ion studies aiming at constraining possible medium-induced modifications. | ||

| Summary |
| Measurements of the normalized dimuon invariant-mass and opening-angle distributions in same-sign dimuon-tagged jets have been presented for proton--proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s}= $ 5.02 TeV, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 306 $ \text{pb}^{-1}$ collected with the CMS detector. The measurement is performed for jets with $ p_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{jet}} > $ 100 GeV containing two same-sign muons with $ p_{\mathrm{T}} > $ 8 GeV. The same-sign dimuon tagging technique selects a sample strongly enriched in jets containing two b hadrons while retaining sensitivity to very small angular separations. The distributions are described within the experimental uncertainties by predictions from PYTHIA 8, HERWIG 7, and POWHEG matched to the PYTHIA 8 parton shower. These results provide new differential constraints on collinear beauty production in the very small opening-angle region, complementing existing measurements while retaining direct control of the hard scale of the selected topology through the jet transverse-momentum requirement. This study also establishes a proton--proton reference for future studies of possible medium-induced modifications in heavy-ion collisions. |
