Azimuthal anisotropy of jet quenching in dijet events in PbPb collisions at sNN= 5.02 TeV
Abstract: The path-length dependent parton energy loss within the quark-gluon plasma created in lead-lead collisions at sNN= 5.02 TeV is studied by determining the azimuthal anisotropies for high-pT dijets. The anisotropies are expressed as the Fourier expansion coefficients v2, v3, and v4. The data were collected by the CMS experiment in 2018 and correspond to an integral luminosity of 1.7 nb1. Jet-hadron and hadron-hadron correlations from events with back-to-back dijets are constructed as functions of relative azimuthal angle and pseudorapidity between a jet and a hadron and between two hadrons, respectively. Together, these correlations allow for a determination of the dijet vn values assuming factorization. Restricting the analysis to long-range components of the correlations provides robust suppression of background contributions from fragmentation processes. Positive dijet v2 values are found that show a strong centrality dependence, consistent with previous high-pT hadron and inclusive jet measurements. The dijet v3 and v4 values are consistent with zero, which is also seen for high-pT hadron v3 values in previous studies.
