Performance of jet quenching measurements in pp and PbPb collisions with CMS at the HL-LHC
Abstract: The projected performance of different jet measurements to be carried out with the large data samples expected in PbPb and pp collisions during the high-luminosity phase of the LHC (HL-LHC) is presented. The analyses are based on Monte Carlo simulations and extrapolations from data collected in pp and PbPb collisions between 2010 and 2016. The extrapolated performance for PbPb collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 10 nb$^{-1}$ at $\sqrt{s_{_\textrm{NN}}}=$ 5.02 TeV and an upgraded CMS detector, shows significant reductions in the uncertainties of the measurements of photon-tagged jet shapes and D$^0$-jet correlations. The large proton-proton data sample at $\sqrt{s}=$ 14 TeV, to be collected under low-pileup conditions in Run 3 and beyond, will also provide new opportunities for the study of jet quenching phenomena in small systems, as shown through $\gamma$, Z-jet transverse momentum imbalance distributions in high-multiplicity pp events.

Summary
The projected performance of different jet measurements expected to be carried out with large data samples of PbPb and low-pileup pp collisions at HL-LHC are presented. The HL-LHC performance, extrapolated from existing PbPb data and Monte Carlo simulations, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 10 nb$^{-1}$ at ${\sqrt{s_{_{\text{NN}}}}} = $ 5.02 TeV, shows significantly improved precision in the measurements of photon-tagged jet shapes and $\mathrm{D}^{0}$-jet correlations. These measurements will provide new constraints on models of jet quenching in the QGP, heavy quark production and diffusion inside the medium, and improved understanding of the medium response and medium excitation to hard probes. The large pp data samples at ${\sqrt{s}} = $ 14 TeV with low pileup, expected to be collected in Run 3 and beyond, will also provide precise measurements of boson-jet transverse momentum imbalance distributions in (high-multiplicity) small systems, and thereby study the system-size dependence of jet quenching phenomena.
