| May 2019 | ||
| Abstract: A study of the production of J/$\psi$ mesons in conjunction with jets in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 8 TeV is presented. The analysis is based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.1 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. For events with at least one observed jet, the angular separation between the J/$\psi$ meson and the jet is used to test whether the J/$\psi$ meson is a jet fragment. The differential distributions of jet fragmentation probability as a function of jet energy for a fixed J/$\psi$ energy fraction $z$ are presented. The experimental results are compared to a theoretical model using the fragmenting jet function (FJF) approach. The J/$\psi$ jet fragmentation data agree with the predictions of the FJF calculations that use specific long-distance matrix element parameters. This agreement shows that the combination of data on jet fragmentation to J/$\psi$ mesons and FJF analysis is a new way to test predictions for charmonium production from nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics and to evaluate long-distance matrix element parameter sets. The analysis also shows that most J/$\psi$ mesons with energy above 15 GeV and rapidity $|y| < $ 1.0 are fragments of jets with pseudorapidity $|\eta_{\mathrm{jet}}| < $ 1. | ||

| Summary |
|
The first analysis comparing data for J/$\psi$ mesons produced as fragmentation products of a central gluonic jet with a theoretical analysis based on Fragmenting Jet Function (FJF) approach has been presented. The data were collected by the CMS Collaboration from $\mathrm{pp}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}= $ 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.1 fb$^{-1}$. The agreement between the data and the FJF predictions over a wide range of $z$, where $z$ is the J/$\psi$ fraction of the jet energy, validates the FJF approach for gluon fragmentation. For the three $z$ values, 0.425, 0.525, and 0.625, the nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamic long-distance matrix element (LDME) terms for the $^{3}S_{1}^{(8)}$ and $^3P_{J}^{(8)}$ configurations are not dominant for either the Bodwin, Chung, Kim and Lee (BCKL) [18] or Butenschoen and Kniehl (BK) [17] parameter sets, ie, these terms are not the main contributors to J/$\psi$ production by jet fragmentation. For the BCKL LDME parameters, the $^{1}S_{0}^{(8)}$ term dominates jet fragmentation to J/$\psi$ for all three $z$ values studied. This could explain the small J/$\psi$ polarization at large ${p_{\mathrm{T}}}$ observed in high energy hadronic collisions at the Tevatron and LHC. However, the possible role of the $^{3}S_{1}^{(1)}$ term using the BK parameters, with its implied large J/$\psi$ polarization, has to be addressed theoretically. It has almost the same jet energy dependence as the BCKL $^{1}S_{0}^{(8)}$ term for $z > $ 0.5, but not for lower $z$. For events with one observed jet, 84% of J/$\psi$ mesons with $E > $ 15 GeV and $|y| < $ 1 are fragments of a jet produced in the angular region $|\eta| < $ 1.0. We have also demonstrated that some J/$\psi$ mesons are fragments of jets that fail the requirement ${p_{\mathrm{T}}}|_{\mathrm{jet}} > $ 25 GeV. Using a simple model to estimate the fraction of J/$\psi$ mesons that are fragments of unobserved jets, we find that jet fragmentation can be the source of $ > $ 80% of the J/$\psi$ mesons produced in this kinematic region. |
