Study of Jet Quenching with Z + jet Correlations in Pb-Pb and pp Collisions at √sNN =5.02 TeV

Abstract

The production of jets in association with Z bosons, reconstructed via the μ^+μ^− and e^+e^− decay channels, is studied in pp and, for the first time, in Pb-Pb collisions. Both data samples were collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV. The Pb-Pb collisions were analyzed in the 0%–30% centrality range. The back-to-back azimuthal alignment was studied in both pp and Pb-Pb collisions for Z bosons with transverse momentum p^Z_T > 60 GeV/cand a recoiling jet with p^(jet)_T > 30 GeV/c. The p_T imbalance x_jZ = p^(jet)_T/p^Z_T, as well as he average number of jet partners per Z, R_jZ, was studied in intervals of p^Z_T. The R_jZ is found to be smaller in Pb-Pb than in pp collisions, which suggests that in Pb-Pb collisions a larger fraction of partons associated with the Z bosons fall below the 30 GeV/c p^(jet)_T threshold because hey lose energy.
