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\,nb collected with the CMS detector at the LHC is analyzed. Jets are reconstructed with the anti- 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 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.Note:
