| Comparison of jet fragmentation for isolated-photon+jet pairs in PbPb and pp collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{\mathrm{NN}}}} = $ 5.02 TeV | ||
| CMS Collaboration | ||
| August 2017 | ||
| Abstract: Measurements of fragmentation functions for jets paired with an isolated photon in pp and, for the first time, PbPb collisions are presented. The analysis uses data from the CMS detector at the CERN LHC, with both systems at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV. Fragmentation functions are constructed using charged particles with transverse momentum $p_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{trk}} > $ 1 GeV/$c$ inside jets with transverse momentum $p_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{jet}} > $ 30 GeV/$c$ for events containing an isolated photon with $p_{\mathrm{T}}^{\gamma} > $ 60 GeV/$c$. For central PbPb collisions, modifications of the jet fragmentation function with respect to that found for pp collisions are observed, while no significant differences are found in the 50% most peripheral collisions. The modifications seen in central events indicate an enhancement for particles at low $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ and a depletion at high $p_{\mathrm{T}}$, with a transition around 3 GeV/$c$. These measurements provide information about the longitudinal modifications of a parton shower whose initial kinematics are tightly constrained by the properties of the associated photon. | ||

| Summary |
| In summary, the fragmentation functions of jets associated with isolated photons are presented in pp and, for the first time, in PbPb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{\mathrm{NN}}}} = $ 5.02 TeV. The fragmentation functions are constructed for jets with $p_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{jet}} > $ 30 GeV/$c$ and charged particles with $p_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{trk}} > $ 1 GeV/$c$ that are associated with an isolated photon with $p_{\mathrm{T}}^{\gamma} > $ 60 GeV/$c$, and are studied as functions of $ \xi ^{\mathrm {jet}} $ and $ \xi ^\gamma _{{\mathrm {T}}} $, in four different PbPb event centrality intervals. The modifications of the $ \xi ^{\mathrm {jet}} $ and $ \xi ^\gamma _{{\mathrm {T}}} $ distributions in central PbPb collisions indicate that there is an excess of low energy particles and a depletion of high energy particles inside the jet. This picture is more apparent in the $ \xi ^\gamma _{{\mathrm {T}}} $ distributions, where the photon-based selection allows for the tagging of the initial parton kinematics (before the quenching happened). The association with isolated photons provides, for the first time, information on the medium modification of parton showers in events with well-defined initial parton kinematics. |
