Fragmentation of jets containing a ${\mathrm{J}/\psi}$ meson in PbPb and pp collisions at 5 TeV
Abstract: Jets containing a ${\mathrm{J}/\psi}$ meson are studied in PbPb collisions at a center of mass energy of ${\sqrt {\smash [b]{s_{_{\mathrm {NN}}}}}} = $ 5.02 TeV, using the CMS detector at the LHC. Jets are selected to be in the transverse momentum range of 30 $ < {p_{\mathrm{T}}} < $ 40 GeV. The yield of ${\mathrm{J}/\psi}$ in these jets is evaluated as function of the jet fragmentation function variable $z$, the ratio of the ${\mathrm{J}/\psi}$ ${p_{\mathrm{T}}}$ to the jet ${p_{\mathrm{T}}}$. The nuclear modification factor is then derived by comparing the yield in PbPb to the corresponding expectation from pp data at the same collision energy. The suppression of the ${\mathrm{J}/\psi}$ yield shows a dependence on $z$, indicating that the interaction of the ${\mathrm{J}/\psi}$ with the quark-gluon plasma formed in heavy-ion collisions depends on the fragmentation pattern of the jet that gives rise to the ${\mathrm{J}/\psi}$ meson.

Summary
Jets containing a ${\mathrm{J}/\psi}$ meson were studied in pp and PbPb collisions at ${\sqrt {\smash [b]{s_{_{\mathrm {NN}}}}}} = $ 5.02 TeV, for jets of 30 $ < {p_{\mathrm{T}}} < $ 40 GeV and $|\eta| < $ 2. We compared the distribution of the fragmentation variable $z$, the ratio of the ${\mathrm{J}/\psi}$ ${p_{\mathrm{T}}}$ to that of the jet, between the two systems. The resulting nuclear modification factor shows a rising trend as a function of $z$. The suppression at low $z$ is found to be larger in the 20% most central events, compared to the rest. The results show explicitly that the ${\mathrm{J}/\psi}$ produced with a large degree of surrounding jet activity are more highly suppressed than those produced in isolation.
