Hadronization in Forward Jets in p+p collisions at √s = 8 TeV and 13 TeV

Hadronic jet production at high energy colliders is an important testing ground for Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) because the coupling constant for the hard interaction becomes smaller at high energies which facilitates perturbative theoretical calculations. The capabilities of the Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) experiment in jet reconstruction with complete particle identification provide a unique and unprecedented opportunity to study the process of hadronization. This study initially explores various multi-differential observables to quantify hadron production in forward jets with LHCb kinematics. Simulated p+p collision datasets at √s =  8 TeV and 13 TeV within 2.5 < η < 4.5 were presented in this research. The dynamic variables examined include the relationship of jet energy vs. jet transverse momentum, production of kaons in jets, the momentum fraction (z), transverse momentum of a particle relative to the jet axis (jT), and joint distribution (z vs. jT) in charged particles, neutral particles, baryons, and mesons. We looked at the correlations and trends from the observables for different energies in the simulated data in order to understand what correlations may be feasible and valuable to study in a future analysis based on real data.
