Inclusive b Jet Production in Proton-Proton Collisions: Precision Measurement with the CMS experiment at the LHC at √ s = 13 TeV

Description

^ 74 GeV and |y| < 2.4; the b jets must contain a B hadron. The measurement has significant statistics up to p T ∼ O(TeV). Advanced methods of unfolding are performed to extract the signal. It is found that fixed-order calculations with underlying event describe the measurement well.
