Comparing transverse momentum balance of b jet pairs in pp and PbPb collisions at √sNN=5.02 TeV
The transverse momentum balance of pairs of back-to-back b quark jets in PbPb and pp collisions recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC is reported. The center-of-mass energy in both collision systems is 5.02 TeV per nucleon pair. Compared to the pp collision baseline, b quark jets have a large...

| Summary: | The transverse momentum balance of pairs of back-to-back b quark jets in
PbPb and pp collisions recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC is reported. The
center-of-mass energy in both collision systems is 5.02 TeV per nucleon pair. Compared
to the pp collision baseline, b quark jets have a larger imbalance in the most central
PbPb collisions, as expected from the jet quenching effect. The data are also compared
to the corresponding measurement with inclusive dijets. In the most central collisions, the
imbalance of b quark dijets is comparable to that of inclusive dijets |
