The collinear and transverse-momentum-dependent jet fragmentation function and the radial profile for mesons in jets are measured. The mesons are reconstructed through the decay channel using proton-proton collision data collected during 2016–2018 with the LHCb detector at a center-of-mass (c.m.) energy of , corresponding to an integrated luminosity of . The results complement recent measurements of jet fragmentation functions for heavy-flavor hadrons and suggest a growing contribution of gluon fragmentation to mesons as the jet transverse momentum increases.more » « less

Nuclear medium effects on meson production are studied using the binary-collision scaled cross section ratio between events of different charged-particle multiplicities from proton-lead collisions. Data, collected by the CMS experiment in 2016 at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of , corresponding to an integrated luminosity of , were used. The scaling factors in the ratio are determined using a novel approach based on the cross sections measured in the same events. The scaled ratio for is consistent with unity for all event multiplicities, putting stringent constraints on nuclear modification for heavy flavor. © 2025 CERN, for the CMS Collaboration2025CERNmore » « less
