Jet Structure Studies in Small Systems

Abstract

A study investigating a possible jet shape dependence on the charged event multiplicity was performed on collision samples generated by Monte-Carlo (MC) event generators PYTHIA and HIJING++. We calculated the integral jet shape and found a significant modification caused by multiple-parton interactions. By interchanging and enabling different model ingredients in the simulations and analyzing the results in several $p_T$ bins and event multiplicity classes, we found a characteristic jet size measure that was independent of the chosen tunes, settings, and jet reconstruction algorithms.
