Dependence of inclusive jet production on the anti-${k_{\mathrm{T}}}$ distance parameter in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV
JHEP 12 (2020) 082
Abstract: The dependence of inclusive jet production in proton-proton collisions with a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV on the distance parameter $R$ of the anti-${k_{\mathrm{T}}}$ algorithm is studied using data corresponding to integrated luminosities up to 35.9 fb$^{-1}$ collected by the CMS experiment in 2016. The ratios of the inclusive cross sections as functions of transverse momentum ${p_{\mathrm{T}}}$ and rapidity $y$, for $R$ in the range 0.1 to 1.2 to those using $R= $ 0.4 are presented in the region 84 $ < {p_{\mathrm{T}}} < $ 1588 GeV and $|y| < $ 2.0. The results are compared to calculations at leading and next-to-leading order in the strong coupling constant using different parton shower models. The variation of the ratio of cross sections with $R$ is well described by calculations including a parton shower model, but not by a leading-order quantum chromodynamics calculation including nonperturbative effects. The agreement between the data and the theoretical predictions for the ratios of cross sections is significantly improved when next-to-leading order calculations with nonperturbative effects are used.

Summary
A measurement has been made of the ratio of cross sections of inclusive anti-${k_{\mathrm{T}}}$ jets of multiple sizes with respect to jets with the distance parameter $R = $ 0.4; this is the first such result from the CMS Collaboration. Because of cancellation of many experimental and theoretical systematic uncertainties for the ratio, it is more sensitive to perturbative and nonperturbative effects than the absolute cross section measurement; the experimental systematic uncertainty in the cross section ratio is of similar size as the statistical uncertainty, whereas the theoretical uncertainty is dominated by the choice of the renormalization and factorization scales.

From the ratio measurement, we observe that the nonperturbative correction is important in describing the data at low transverse momentum. Thus, the modeling of nonperturbative effects, such as hadronization and the underlying event has a significant impact on the description of the data in different regions of phase space.

Finally, the variation of the ratio of cross sections with jet size $R$ emphasizes the importance of the inclusion of parton showering algorithms to capture the effects of higher-order terms in the perturbation series by the resummation approach, which are absent in the case of fixed-order computation. This is also demonstrated by the analytic calculations using joint resummation in threshold for single jet production, and jet size. Therefore, this study shows the importance of final-state radiation modeled in Monte Carlo simulation to describe the data, and also implies that the differences between various parton showering and hadronization models are significant.
