A<sc>bstract</sc> Measurements of inclusive charged-particle jet production in pp and p-Pb collisions at center-of-mass energy per nucleon-nucleon collision$$ \sqrt{s_{\textrm{NN}}} $$ = 5.02 TeV and the corresponding nuclear modification factor$$ {R}_{\textrm{pPb}}^{\textrm{ch}\ \textrm{jet}} $$ are presented, using data collected with the ALICE detector at the LHC. Jets are reconstructed in the central rapidity region |ηjet|<0.5 from charged particles using the anti-kTalgorithm with resolution parametersR= 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4. ThepT-differential inclusive production cross section of charged-particle jets, as well as the corresponding cross section ratios, are reported for pp and p-Pb collisions in the transverse momentum range 10<$$ {p}_{\textrm{T},\textrm{jet}}^{\textrm{ch}} $$ <140 GeV/cand 10<$$ {p}_{\textrm{T},\textrm{jet}}^{\textrm{ch}} $$ <160 GeV/c, respectively, together with the nuclear modification factor$$ {R}_{\textrm{pPb}}^{\textrm{ch}\ \textrm{jet}} $$ in the range 10<$$ {p}_{\textrm{T},\textrm{jet}}^{\textrm{ch}} $$ <140 GeV/c. The analysis extends thepTrange of the previously-reported charged-particle jet measurements by the ALICE Collaboration. The nuclear modification factor is found to be consistent with one and independent of the jet resolution parameter with the improved precision of this study, indicating that the possible influence of cold nuclear matter effects on the production cross section of charged-particle jets in p-Pb collisions at$$ \sqrt{s_{\textrm{NN}}} $$ = 5.02 TeV is smaller than the current precision. The obtained results are in agreement with other minimum bias jet measurements available for RHIC and LHC energies, and are well reproduced by the NLO perturbative QCD Powhegcalculations with parton shower provided by Pythia8 as well as by Jetscapesimulations.

Measurement of the angle between jet axes in pp collisions at $$ \sqrt{s} $$ = 5.02 TeV
A<sc>bstract</sc> This article reports measurements of the angle between differently defined jet axes in pp collisions at$$ \sqrt{s} $$ = 5.02 TeV carried out by the ALICE Collaboration. Charged particles at midrapidity are clustered into jets with resolution parametersR= 0.2 and 0.4. The jet axis, before and after Soft Drop grooming, is compared to the jet axis from the Winner-Takes-All (WTA) recombination scheme. The angle between these axes, ∆Raxis, probes a wide phase space of the jet formation and evolution, ranging from the initial high-momentum-transfer scattering to the hadronization process. The ∆Raxisobservable is presented for 20<$$ {p}_{\textrm{T}}^{\textrm{ch}\ \textrm{jet}} $$ <100 GeV/c, and compared to predictions from the PYTHIA 8 and Herwig 7 event generators. The distributions can also be calculated analytically with a leading hadronization correction related to the non-perturbative component of the Collins-Soper-Sterman (CSS) evolution kernel. Comparisons to analytical predictions at next-to-leading-logarithmic accuracy with leading hadronization correction implemented from experimental extractions of the CSS kernel in Drell-Yan measurements are presented. The analytical predictions describe the measured data within 20% in the perturbative regime, with surprising agreement in the non-perturbative regime as well. These results are compatible with the universality of the CSS kernel in the context of jet substructure.

A<sc>bstract</sc> Measurements of charged-particle production in pp, p–Pb, and Pb–Pb collisions in the toward, away, and transverse regions with the ALICE detector are discussed. These regions are defined event-by-event relative to the azimuthal direction of the charged trigger particle, which is the reconstructed particle with the largest transverse momentum$$ \left({p}_{\textrm{T}}^{\textrm{trig}}\right) $$ in the range 8<$$ {p}_{\textrm{T}}^{\textrm{trig}} $$ <15 GeV/c. The toward and away regions contain the primary and recoil jets, respectively; both regions are accompanied by the underlying event (UE). In contrast, the transverse region perpendicular to the direction of the trigger particle is dominated by the so-called UE dynamics, and includes also contributions from initial- and final-state radiation. The relative transverse activity classifier,$$ {R}_{\textrm{T}}={N}_{\textrm{ch}}^{\textrm{T}}/\left\langle {N}_{\textrm{ch}}^{\textrm{T}}\right\rangle $$ , is used to group events according to their UE activity, where$$ {N}_{\textrm{ch}}^{\textrm{T}} $$ is the charged-particle multiplicity per event in the transverse region and$$ \left\langle {N}_{\textrm{ch}}^{\textrm{T}}\right\rangle $$ is the mean value over the whole analysed sample. The energy dependence of theRTdistributions in pp collisions at$$ \sqrt{s} $$ = 2.76, 5.02, 7, and 13 TeV is reported, exploring the Koba-Nielsen-Olesen (KNO) scaling properties of the multiplicity distributions. The first measurements of charged-particlepTspectra as a function ofRTin the three azimuthal regions in pp, p–Pb, and Pb–Pb collisions at$$ \sqrt{s_{\textrm{NN}}} $$ = 5.02 TeV are also reported. Data are compared with predictions obtained from the event generators PYTHIA 8 and EPOS LHC. This set of measurements is expected to contribute to the understanding of the origin of collective-like effects in small collision systems (pp and p–Pb).more » « less

A<sc>bstract</sc> A study of strange hadron production associated with hard scattering processes and with the underlying event is conducted to investigate the origin of the enhanced production of strange hadrons in small collision systems characterised by large charged-particle multiplicities. For this purpose, the production of the single-strange meson$$ {\textrm{K}}_{\textrm{S}}^0 $$ and the double-strange baryon Ξ±is measured, in each event, in the azimuthal direction of the highest-pTparticle (“trigger” particle), related to hard scattering processes, and in the direction transverse to it in azimuth, associated with the underlying event, in pp collisions at$$ \sqrt{s} $$ = 5.02 TeV and$$ \sqrt{s} $$ = 13 TeV using the ALICE detector at the LHC. The per-trigger yields of$$ {\textrm{K}}_{\textrm{S}}^0 $$ and Ξ±are dominated by the transverse-to-leading production (i.e., in the direction transverse to the trigger particle), whose contribution relative to the toward-leading production is observed to increase with the event charged-particle multiplicity. The transverse-to-leading and the toward-leading Ξ±/$$ {\textrm{K}}_{\textrm{S}}^0 $$ yield ratios increase with the multiplicity of charged particles, suggesting that strangeness enhancement with multiplicity is associated with both hard scattering processes and the underlying event. The relative production of Ξ±with respect to$$ {\textrm{K}}_{\textrm{S}}^0 $$ is higher in transverse-to-leading processes over the whole multiplicity interval covered by the measurement. The$$ {\textrm{K}}_{\textrm{S}}^0 $$ and Ξ±per-trigger yields and yield ratios are compared with predictions of three different phenomenological models, namely Pythia8.2 with the Monash tune, Pythia8.2 with ropes and EPOS LHC. The comparison shows that none of them can quantitatively describe either the transverse-to-leading or the toward-leading yields of$$ {\textrm{K}}_{\textrm{S}}^0 $$ and Ξ±.more » « less

A<sc>bstract</sc> The production cross sections of$$ {\textrm{B}}_{\textrm{s}}^0 $$ and B+mesons are reported in proton-proton (pp) collisions recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC with a center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 302 pb−1. The cross sections are based on measurements of the$$ {\textrm{B}}_{\textrm{s}}^0 $$ →J/ψ(μ+μ−)ϕ(1020)(K+K−) and B+→J/ψ(μ+μ−)K+decay channels. Results are presented in the transverse momentum (pT) range 7–50 GeV/cand the rapidity interval |y|<2.4 for the B mesons. The measuredpT-differential cross sections of B+and$$ {\textrm{B}}_{\textrm{s}}^0 $$ in pp collisions are well described by fixed-order plus next-to-leading logarithm perturbative quantum chromodynamics calculations. Using previous PbPb collision measurements at the same nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy, the nuclear modification factors,RAA, of the B mesons are determined. ForpT>10 GeV/c, both mesons are found to be suppressed in PbPb collisions (withRAAvalues significantly below unity), with less suppression observed for the$$ {\textrm{B}}_{\textrm{s}}^0 $$ mesons. In thispTrange, theRAAvalues for the B+mesons are consistent with those for inclusive charged hadrons and D0mesons. Below 10 GeV/c, both B+and$$ {\textrm{B}}_{\textrm{s}}^0 $$ are found to be less suppressed than either inclusive charged hadrons or D0mesons, with the$$ {\textrm{B}}_{\textrm{s}}^0 $$ RAAvalue consistent with unity. TheRAAvalues found for the B+and$$ {\textrm{B}}_{\textrm{s}}^0 $$ are compared to theoretical calculations, providing constraints on the mechanism of bottom quark energy loss and hadronization in the quark-gluon plasma, the hot and dense matter created in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions.more » « less

A<sc>bstract</sc> A measurement of the top quark pole mass$$ {m}_{\textrm{t}}^{\textrm{pole}} $$ in events where a top quark-antiquark pair ($$ \textrm{t}\overline{\textrm{t}} $$ ) is produced in association with at least one additional jet ($$ \textrm{t}\overline{\textrm{t}} $$ +jet) is presented. This analysis is performed using proton-proton collision data at$$ \sqrt{s} $$ = 13 TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 36.3 fb−1. Events with two opposite-sign leptons in the final state (e+e−,μ+μ−, e±μ∓) are analyzed. The reconstruction of the main observable and the event classification are optimized using multivariate analysis techniques based on machine learning. The production cross section is measured as a function of the inverse of the invariant mass of the$$ \textrm{t}\overline{\textrm{t}} $$ +jet system at the parton level using a maximum likelihood unfolding. Given a reference parton distribution function (PDF), the top quark pole mass is extracted using the theoretical predictions at next-to-leading order. For the ABMP16NLO PDF, this results in$$ {m}_{\textrm{t}}^{\textrm{pole}} $$ = 172.93±1.36 GeV.more » « less
