Measurement of multidifferential cross sections for dijet production in proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV
Submitted to Eur. Phys. J. C
Abstract: A measurement of the dijet production cross section is reported based on proton-proton collision data collected in 2016 at $ \sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of up to 36.3 fb$ ^{-1} $. Jets are reconstructed with the anti-$ k_{\mathrm{T}} $ algorithm for distance parameters of $ R= $ 0.4 and 0.8. Cross sections are measured double-differentially (2D) as a function of the largest absolute rapidity $ |y|_{\text{max}} $ of the two jets with the highest transverse momenta $ p_{\mathrm{T}} $ and their invariant mass $ m_{1,2} $, and triple-differentially (3D) as a function of the rapidity separation $ y^{*} $, the total boost $ y_{\text{b}} $, and either $ m_{1,2} $ or the average $ p_{\mathrm{T}} $ of the two jets. The cross sections are unfolded to correct for detector effects and are compared with fixed-order calculations derived at next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbative quantum chromodynamics. The impact of the measurements on the parton distribution functions and the strong coupling constant at the mass of the Z boson is investigated, yielding a value of $ \alpha_\mathrm{S}(m_{\mathrm{Z}})= $ 0.1179 $ \pm $ 0.0019.

Summary
The dijet production cross section is measured based on pp collision data recorded by the CMS detector in 2016 at $ \sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of up to 36.3 fb$ ^{-1} $.

The measurements are performed double-differentially (2D) as a function of the dijet invariant mass $ m_{1,2} $ in five regions of the maximal absolute rapidity $ |y|_{\text{max}} $\ of the two jets with the largest transverse momenta, and triple-differentially (3D) as a function of either $ m_{1,2} $ or the average transverse momentum $ \langle p_{\mathrm{T}} \rangle_{1,2} $ in 15 bins of the rapidity variables $ y^{*} $\ and $ y_{\text{b}} $. The latter two variables correspond to the rapidity separation of the two jets, and the total boost of the dijet system, respectively. All measurements are performed for jets clustered using the anti-$ k_{\mathrm{T}} $ jet algorithm with distance parameters $ R= $ 0.4 and 0.8, and the cross sections are unfolded in all measurement dimensions simultaneously to correct for detector effects.

This is the first time that such a large set of multidifferential dijet measurements for two observables, $ \langle p_{\mathrm{T}} \rangle_{1,2} $ and $ m_{1,2} $, and two jet distance parameters, $ R = $ 0.4 and 0.8, is made available for comparison to theory and use in fits of the parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton. Predictions at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in perturbative quantum chromodynamics, supplemented with electroweak and nonperturbative corrections are observed to describe the data better for $ R = $ 0.8.

Using the measurement of $ m_{1,2} $ for $ R = $ 0.8, the PDFs of the proton are determined simultaneously in fits to the dijet measurements together with deep-inelastic scattering data from the HERA experiments following the approach described in earlier HERAPDF analyses [1,2,63]. The results obtained from the double- and triple-differential measurements are compatible within the estimated uncertainties. The inclusion of either of the dijet measurements leads to an improved determination of the PDFs compared to fits to HERA data alone. In particular, the uncertainty in the gluon distribution at fractional proton momenta $ x > $ 0.1 is reduced, with the 3D dijet data providing tighter constraints at higher values of $ x $ compared to the 2D data. The strong coupling constant at the Z boson mass is determined simultaneously with the PDFs, yielding consistent results between the 2D and 3D dijet measurements, with the former resulting in the slightly more precise value of $ \alpha_\mathrm{S}(m_{\mathrm{Z}}) = $ 0.1179 $ \pm $ 0.0019 at NNLO.

The impact of subleading-color contributions to the leading-color NNLO calculation used here is not yet known [42]. Apart from being useful as inputs to PDF fits or studies of jet size dependence, the present 2D and 3D measurements for two jet size parameters, $ R= $ 0.4 and 0.8, and for the two dijet observables $ m_{1,2} $ and $ \langle p_{\mathrm{T}} \rangle_{1,2} $, provide an ideal testing ground for further investigations.
