Abstract:
Results on dijet production in \mbox{pPb} collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV are presented. A data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 18.48\,nb1^{-1} collected with the CMS detector at the LHC is analyzed. Jets are reconstructed with the anti-kTk_\text{T} algorithm, using combined information from tracking and calorimetry. The dijet momentum balance, azimuthal angle correlations and pseudorapidity distributions are studied as a function of forward calorimeter transverse energy and compared to results from {\sc pythia} reference calculations representing \mbox{pp} collisions. For \mbox{pPb} collisions, the dijet momentum ratio pT,2/pT,1p_{\mathrm{T},2}/p_{\mathrm{T},1} and the width of the azimuthal angle difference distribution is remarkably insensitive to the forward activity of the collision, and comparable to the same quantity obtained from the simulated \mbox{pp} reference. The pseudorapidity of the dijet system changes monotonically with increasing forward calorimeter activity in the direction expected from gluon saturation.
