Measurement of event shape variables using charged particles inside jets in proton-proton collisions at $$ sqrt{s}=13 $$ TeV Journal Article

Overview

; A; bstract; ; ; Event shape variables, constructed from the four-momenta of the final-state objects in an event, are sensitive to the predictions of quantum chromodynamics in multijet production. A measurement of five event shape variables is presented, using proton-proton collision data collected at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV with the CMS detector during 2016–2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb; ; −; 1; ; . The variables are evaluated using the charged particles inside jets. After correcting for detector effects, their distributions are compared with the predictions from several models for multijet production. Overall, there is general agreement between several theoretical predictions and the data with scope for improvement of our understanding of QCD at different energy scales.;
