Measurement of b jet shapes in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 5.02 TeV
Abstract: We present the first study of the charged hadron production associated with b jets in 5.02 TeV pp collisions. The data sample used in this study was collected with the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 27.4 pb$^{-1}$. The differential jet shapes, defined as the normalized transverse momentum flow of charged hadrons with respect to the angular distance from the jet axis, are measured for b jets via the jet-track correlation method. In addition to the jet shapes, the per-jet yields of charged particles associated with b jets are also quantified, again as a function of the angular distance with respect to the jet axis. Extracted jet shape and particle yield distributions for b jets are compared with results for inclusive jets, as well as with predictions from the PYTHIA event generator. The new results reveal a deficiency in the modeling of softer part of the jet fragmentation for both types of jets studied and set a baseline for future studies of parton flavor dependence of jet-medium interactions in heavy ion collisions.

Table 1:
Systematic uncertainties in percentage for the measurements of the jet-track correlations. Where an uncertainty range is given, the upper edge of the range corresponds to the bin with the smallest $p_{\mathrm {T}}^{\mathrm {trk}}$ values. The sources from the decontamination and tagging bias are exclusive for b jets.
Summary
In this note, the first charged-particle track yields and jet shapes for b and inclusive jets in pp collisions using data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC at nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = $ 5.02 TeV are presented. The correlations of charged particles having transverse momentum $p_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{trk}} > $ 1 GeV and pseudorapidity $ | \eta | < $ 2.4 with the jet axis of jets having ${p_{\mathrm{T}}} > $ 120 GeV and $ | \eta | < $ 1.6 are studied. Charged particle yields associated with jets are presented as a function of relative angular distance $\Delta r = \sqrt{\smash[b]{(\Delta\eta)^{2}+(\Delta\phi)^{2}}}$ from the jet axis. In these studies, a higher number of associated charged particle tracks in the low $\Delta r$ is found for b jets with respect to inclusive jets produced predominantly by light parton flavors. The trends observed in pp data for particle yield distributions associated with both types of jets are reproduced by PYTHIA calculations.

In addition to the charged-particle yields, we examine the jet transverse momentum profile variable $\rho(\Delta r)$, defined using the distribution of charged-particle tracks in annular rings around the jet axis with each particle weighted by its $p_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{trk}}$ value. The measured shapes of b jets are broader than those of inclusive jets. The reported shapes for both types of jets are reproduced by PYTHIA calculations at small angular distances from the jet axis; however, measured transverse momenta distributions at larger $\Delta r$ are underpredicted by Monte Carlo simulations for both b and inclusive jets, with larger data-to-simulation differences observed for b jets.

This result provides new constraints on pQCD calculations for flavor dependencies in parton fragmentation and gluon radiation, as well as relative contributions of different processes to b quark production. These measurements are also expected to offer an important reference for the future detailed studies of flavor effects for parton interactions with the quark-gluon plasma.
