Measurements of inclusive charged-particle jet production in pp and p-Pb collisions at center-of-mass energy per nucleon-nucleon collision
This content will become publicly available on January 1, 2025
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

A bstract = 5$$ \sqrt{s_{\textrm{NN}}} $$ . 02 TeV and the corresponding nuclear modification factor are presented, using data collected with the ALICE detector at the LHC. Jets are reconstructed in the central rapidity region |$$ {R}_{\textrm{pPb}}^{\textrm{ch}\ \textrm{jet}} $$ η jet|< 0. 5 from charged particles using the anti-k Talgorithm with resolution parametersR = 0. 2, 0. 3, and 0. 4. Thep T-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/c and 10< $$ {p}_{\textrm{T},\textrm{jet}}^{\textrm{ch}} $$ < 160 GeV/c , respectively, together with the nuclear modification factor in the range 10$$ {R}_{\textrm{pPb}}^{\textrm{ch}\ \textrm{jet}} $$ < $$ {p}_{\textrm{T},\textrm{jet}}^{\textrm{ch}} $$ < 140 GeV/c . The analysis extends thep Trange 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 = 5$$ \sqrt{s_{\textrm{NN}}} $$ . 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 Powheg calculations with parton shower provided by Pythia 8 as well as by Jetscape simulations. -
Abstract The azimuthal (
) correlation distributions between heavy-flavor decay electrons and associated charged particles are measured in pp and p–Pb collisions at$$\Delta \varphi $$ TeV. Results are reported for electrons with transverse momentum$$\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{{NN}}}} = 5.02$$ $$4 and pseudorapidity$$\textrm{GeV}/c$$ . The associated charged particles are selected with transverse momentum$$|\eta |<0.6$$ $$1 , and relative pseudorapidity separation with the leading electron$$\textrm{GeV}/c$$ . The correlation measurements are performed to study and characterize the fragmentation and hadronization of heavy quarks. The correlation structures are fitted with a constant and two von Mises functions to obtain the baseline and the near- and away-side peaks, respectively. The results from p–Pb collisions are compared with those from pp collisions to study the effects of cold nuclear matter. In the measured trigger electron and associated particle kinematic regions, the two collision systems give consistent results. The$$|\Delta \eta | < 1$$ distribution and the peak observables in pp and p–Pb collisions are compared with calculations from various Monte Carlo event generators.$$\Delta \varphi $$ -
A bstract The production of strange hadrons (
, Λ, Ξ$$ {\textrm{K}}_{\textrm{S}}^0 $$ ± , and Ω± ), baryon-to-meson ratios (Λ/ , Ξ$$ {\textrm{K}}_{\textrm{S}}^0 $$ / , and Ω$$ {\textrm{K}}_{\textrm{S}}^0 $$ / ), and baryon-to-baryon ratios (Ξ$$ {\textrm{K}}_{\textrm{S}}^0 $$ / Λ, Ω/ Λ, and Ω/ Ξ) associated with jets and the underlying event were measured as a function of transverse momentum (p T) in pp collisions at = 13 TeV and p Pb collisions at$$ \sqrt{s} $$ = 5$$ \sqrt{s_{\textrm{NN}}} $$ . 02 TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The inclusive production of the same particle species and the corresponding ratios are also reported. The production of multi-strange hadrons, Ξ± and Ω± , and their associated particle ratios in jets and in the underlying event are measured for the first time. In both pp and p–Pb collisions, the baryon-to-meson and baryon-to-baryon yield ratios measured in jets differ from the inclusive particle production for low and intermediate hadronp T(0.6–6 GeV/c ). Ratios measured in the underlying event are in turn similar to those measured for inclusive particle production. In pp collisions, the particle production in jets is compared with Pythia 8 predictions with three colour-reconnection implementation modes. None of them fully reproduces the data in the measured hadronp Tregion. The maximum deviation is observed for Ξ± and Ω± which reaches a factor of about six. The event multiplicity dependence is further investigated in p−Pb collisions. In contrast to what is observed in the underlying event, there is no significant event-multiplicity dependence for particle production in jets. The presented measurements provide novel constraints on hadronisation and its Monte Carlo description. In particular, they demonstrate that the fragmentation of jets alone is insufficient to describe the strange and multi-strange particle production in hadronic collisions at LHC energies. -
A bstract Results on the transverse spherocity dependence of light-flavor particle production (
π , K, p,ϕ , K*0, , Λ, Ξ) at midrapidity in high-multiplicity pp collisions at$$ {\textrm{K}}_{\textrm{S}}^0 $$ = 13 TeV were obtained with the ALICE apparatus. The transverse spherocity estimator$$ \sqrt{s} $$ categorizes events by their azimuthal topology. Utilizing narrow selections on$$ \left({S}_{\textrm{O}}^{p_{\textrm{T}}=1}\right) $$ , it is possible to contrast particle production in collisions dominated by many soft initial interactions with that observed in collisions dominated by one or more hard scatterings. Results are reported for two multiplicity estimators covering different pseudorapidity regions. The$$ {S}_{\textrm{O}}^{p_{\textrm{T}}=1} $$ estimator is found to effectively constrain the hardness of the events when the midrapidity (|$$ {S}_{\textrm{O}}^{p_{\textrm{T}}=1} $$ η | < 0.8) estimator is used.The production rates of strange particles are found to be slightly higher for soft isotropic topologies, and severely suppressed in hard jet-like topologies. These effects are more pronounced for hadrons with larger mass and strangeness content, and observed when the topological selection is done within a narrow multiplicity interval. This demonstrates that an important aspect of the universal scaling of strangeness enhancement with final-state multiplicity is that high-multiplicity collisions are dominated by soft, isotropic processes. On the contrary, strangeness production in events with jet-like processes is significantly reduced.
The results presented in this article are compared with several QCD-inspired Monte Carlo event generators. Models that incorporate a two-component phenomenology, either through mechanisms accounting for string density, or thermal production, are able to describe the observed strangeness enhancement as a function of
.$$ {S}_{\textrm{O}}^{p_{\textrm{T}}=1} $$ -
A bstract The Chiral Magnetic Wave (CMW) phenomenon is essential to provide insights into the strong interaction in QCD, the properties of the quark-gluon plasma, and the topological characteristics of the early universe, offering a deeper understanding of fundamental physics in high-energy collisions. Measurements of the charge-dependent anisotropic flow coefficients are studied in Pb-Pb collisions at center-of-mass energy per nucleon-nucleon collision
= 5$$ \sqrt{s_{\textrm{NN}}} $$ . 02 TeV to probe the CMW. In particular, the slope of the normalized difference in elliptic (v 2) and triangular (v 3) flow coefficients of positively and negatively charged particles as a function of their event-wise normalized number difference, is reported for inclusive and identified particles. The slope is found to be larger than zero and to have a magnitude similar to$$ {r}_3^{\textrm{Norm}} $$ , thus pointing to a large background contribution for these measurements. Furthermore,$$ {r}_2^{\textrm{Norm}} $$ can be described by a blast wave model calculation that incorporates local charge conservation. In addition, using the event shape engineering technique yields a fraction of CMW ($$ {r}_2^{\textrm{Norm}} $$ f CMW) contribution to this measurement which is compatible with zero. This measurement provides the very first upper limit forf CMW, and in the 10–60% centrality interval it is found to be 26% (38%) at 95% (99.7%) confidence level.
