Measurement of the dependence of inclusive jet production cross sections on the anti-$k_{\mathrm{T}}$ distance parameter in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{\text{s}}$ = 13 TeV
Abstract: The dependence of inclusive jet production cross sections on the anti-$k_{\mathrm{T}}$ distance parameter in proton-proton collisions with a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV is studied using 35.9 fb$^{-1}$ data collected by the CMS experiment. The ratio of the inclusive cross sections as a function of transverse momentum $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ and rapidity $y$ for distance parameters ranging from 0.1 to 1.2 to that using a distance parameter of 0.4 is presented in the region 84 $ < p_{\mathrm{T}} < $ 1588 GeV and $|y| < $ 2.0. The results are compared to calculations at leading order and next-to-leading order in the strong coupling constant using different parton shower models. The shape of the variation of ratio of cross sections with distance parameter is described well by calculations including a parton shower model, but not by a pure leading order QCD calculation including only nonperturbative effects. The descriptions of the ratios of cross sections are significantly improved when both next-to-leading order QCD calculations and nonperturbative effects are included.

Summary
This paper reports a measurement of the ratio of cross section of inclusive jets of multiple sizes w.r.t. AK4 jets for the first time in the CMS experiment. Due to cancellation of many experimental and theoretical systematic uncertainties for the ratio, it is more sensitive to perturbative and nonperturbative effects than the absolute cross section measurement; the experimental systematic uncertainty for cross section ratio is of similar size as the statistical uncertainty, and theory uncertainty is dominated by the choice of renormalization and factorization scales.

From the ratio measurement, it is observed that the NP correction is important to describe the data at low ${p_{\mathrm{T}}}$. So the modelling of nonperturbative effects, like hadronization and underlying events, and also of perturbative radiation have significant impact to describe the data in different regions of phase-space.

Finally, the variation of the ratio of cross sections with $R$ emphasizes the importance of parton showers to capture the effects of higher order terms in the perturbation series by resummation approach, which is absent in the case of fixed order computation. Therefore this study shows the importance of final-state radiation modelled in Monte Carlo simulation to describe the data, and also points that differences between different parton shower and hadronization models are significant.
