Scaling properties of jet-momentum profiles with multiplicity

Understand

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.
