Abstract: The CMS Collaboration presents the first measurement of the differential cross section of jets from charm quarks produced in proton-lead (pPb) collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{ s_{\mathrm{NN}} } =$ 5.02 TeV, as well as results from charm quark jets in proton-proton (pp) collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 2.76 and 5.02 TeV. By comparing the yields of the pPb and pp collision systems at the same energy, a nuclear modification factor for charm jets in pPb collisions at $\sqrt{ s_{\mathrm{NN}} } =$ 5.02 TeV of $R_{\mathrm{ p }\mathrm{A}} =$ 0.92 $\pm$ 0.07 (stat) $\pm$ 0.11 (syst) is obtained. This is consistent with an absence of final-state energy loss for charm quarks in pPb collisions. In addition, the fraction of jets coming from charm quarks is found to be consistent with that predicted by PYTHIA 6 for pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 2.76 and 5.02 TeV, and is independent of the jet transverse momentum from 55 to 400 GeV/$c$.

The charm-to-bottom discrimination power is virtually unchanged between the high-efficiency and high-purity versions of the tagger, while the light parton jet mistag rate is reduced by a factor of three at the analysis working point, shown as the closed red cross on the plots.

Summary

The transverse momentum differential cross-section for c jets has been obtained for pPb collisions at $\sqrt{ s_{\mathrm{NN}} }= $ 5.02 TeV, as well as for pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 2.76 and 5.02 TeV. The c jet fraction of $\approx$6% is consistent with PYTHIA simulations for pp collisions at both center-of-mass energies. By comparing the cross sections for pPb and pp collisions, a $p_{\mathrm{T}}$-independent ${R_{\mathrm{ p }\mathrm{A}}} $ value of 0.92 $\pm$ 0.07 (stat) $\pm$ 0.11 (syst) is observed for c jets at 5.02 TeV, indicating that no significant jet energy modification is present in pPb collisions for c jets with $p_{\mathrm{T}}> $ 55 GeV/$c$. These measurements indicate that proton-lead initial state effects on c jets between 55-400 GeV/$c$ are small and that charm jet quenching in lead-lead collisions should not be influenced by such effects.
