KNO-like scaling within a jet in proton--proton collisions at LHC energies

We study the multiplicity distributions of events with hard jets in proton-proton collisions at LHC energies using PYTHIA 8 Monte-Carlo simulations. We demonstrate that the charged-hadron multiplicity distributions scale with jet momentum. This suggests that the Koba--Nielsen--Olesen (KNO) scaling holds within a jet. The in-jet scaling is fulfilled without multiple-parton interactions (MPI), but breaks down in case MPI is present without color reconnection. Our findings imply that KNO scaling is violated by parton shower or multiple-parton interactions in higher-energy collisions.

Scaling properties of jet-momentum profiles with multiplicity

We study the structure of jets in proton-proton collisions at LHC energies using \textsc{Pythia} 8 Monte Carlo simulations. We demonstrate that the radial jet profiles exhibit scaling properties with charged-hadron event multiplicity over a broad transverse-momentum range. We also provide parametrizations of the jet profiles based on different statistically-motivated analytical distributions. Based on this we propose that the scaling behavior stems from fundamental statistical properties of jet fragmentation.
