Abstract:
The fragmentation of jets containing a J/ψ{\rm J}\hspace{-.08em}/\hspace{-.14em}\psi meson is studied in low pile-up pp data recorded in 2015, at a center-of-mass energy of s=5.02 TeV\sqrt{s} = 5.02~\mathrm{TeV}. The fraction of the jet transverse momentum pT,jetp_{\rm T,jet} taken by the J/ψ{\rm J}\hspace{-.08em}/\hspace{-.14em}\psi is measured for both prompt and nonprompt J/ψ{\rm J}\hspace{-.08em}/\hspace{-.14em}\psi mesons. The value of pT,jetp_{\rm T,jet} is restricted to the range of 25 -- 35 GeV. The J/ψ{\rm J}\hspace{-.08em}/\hspace{-.14em}\psi mesons are measured above 3 and 6.5 GeV, in the endcap and barrel regions of the CMS detector, respectively. Whereas the results for nonprompt J/ψ{\rm J}\hspace{-.08em}/\hspace{-.14em}\psi are well-modeled by simulations using a Monte Carlo generator, the prompt J/ψ{\rm J}\hspace{-.08em}/\hspace{-.14em}\psi are found to be accompanied by a larger level of jet activity. The fraction of J/ψ{\rm J}\hspace{-.08em}/\hspace{-.14em}\psi mesons that are found to be inside a jet within the pT,jetp_{\rm T,jet} selection is also reported, and found to be larger than simulation, for both prompt and nonprompt J/ψ{\rm J}\hspace{-.08em}/\hspace{-.14em}\psi.
