Abstract: (APS)
A search for collective effects inside jets produced in proton-proton collisions is performed via correlation measurements of charged particles using the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The analysis uses data collected at a center-of-mass energy of , corresponding to an integrated luminosity of . Jets are reconstructed with the anti- algorithm with a distance parameter of 0.8 and are required to have transverse momentum greater than 550 GeV and pseudorapidity . Two-particle correlations among the charged particles within the jets are studied as functions of the particles’ azimuthal angle and pseudorapidity separations ( and ) in a jet coordinate basis, where particles’ , are defined relative to the direction of the jet. The correlation functions are studied in classes of in-jet charged-particle multiplicity up to . Fourier harmonics are extracted from long-range azimuthal correlation functions to characterize azimuthal anisotropy for . For low- jets, the long-range elliptic anisotropic harmonic, , is observed to decrease with . This trend is well described by Monte Carlo event generators. However, a rising trend for emerges at , hinting at a possible onset of collective behavior, which is not reproduced by the models tested. This observation yields new insights into the dynamics of jet evolution in the vacuum.Note:
