High-$p_{\rm T}$ jet measurements at the HL-LHC
Abstract: Processes containing jets with high transverse momenta are studied for the upgraded CMS Phase-2 detector design at the High-Luminosity LHC assuming a center-of-mass energy of 14 TeV and an integrated luminosity of 3 ab$^{-1}$. The high luminosity allows to fully exploit high transverse momentum jets (boosted jets) and to differentiate between various jet types. Inclusive jet production, the production of jets originating from b or t quarks, as well as from W bosons are studied, with emphasis on the transverse momentum spectrum of the jets and angular correlations between the two jets with highest transverse momenta.

Summary
We have determined the expected reach in $ {p_{\mathrm{T}}} $ for inclusive jets and b jets at the HL-LHC. The HL-LHC data will allow to probe the proton structure and perturbative QCD in general at the highest ever achieved scales. The inclusive b jet production is a process, which can be identified with high accuracy. We show that at high $ {p_{\mathrm{T}}} $, the b jets are more and more affected by gluon splitting.

The angular correlation between the two leading $ {p_{\mathrm{T}}} $ jets is evaluated as a function of the $\Delta\phi$ and $|\Delta y|$ variables. It is demonstrated that these variables together with the possible b-jet requirement enhance the sensitivity to the different partonic content of the proton. The studies are complemented with a particle-level study of boosted W+jet events. The angular correlation variables are sensitive to perturbative soft-gluon radiation and are important for calculations involving soft gluon resummation.

The boosted $ \mathrm{t\bar{t}} $ cross section in the high $ {p_{\mathrm{T}}} $ region is studied, where even the top quark mass becomes negligible. Consequently, the top quark pair is produced at a rate comparable to that of light quarks. However, the prominent process at high $ {p_{\mathrm{T}}} $ is the quark-quark scattering which makes the top quark pair production still suppressed, as the probability to produce top quarks within the QCD evolution (in the shower) is low. This is in contrast to the case of b quarks, which at high $ {p_{\mathrm{T}}} $ typically are produced within the QCD evolution, i.e., in the initial-state shower.

With an integrated luminosity of 3 ab$^{-1}$, inclusive jet cross section measurements can reach a $ {p_{\mathrm{T}}} \sim$ 4 TeV, inclusive b jet measurements can reach a $ {p_{\mathrm{T}}} \sim $ 3 TeV, jets originating from hadronic top quarks can reach a ${p_{\mathrm{T}}} \sim $ 2 TeV, and boosted hadronically decaying W bosons can access the region of ${p_{\mathrm{T}}} \sim $ 2.5 TeV.
