   An analysis of transverse momentum spectra of various jets produced in high energy collisions

   Yang-Ming Tai🇨🇳 · Pei-Pin Yang🇨🇳 · Fu-Hu Liu🇨🇳

   With the framework of the multi-source thermal model, we analyze the experimental transverse momentum spectra of various jets produced in different collisions at high energies. Two energy sources, a projectile participant quark and a target participant quark, are considered. Each energy source (each participant quark) is assumed to contribute to the transverse momentum distribution to be the TP-like function, i.e. a revised Tsallis--Pareto-type function. The contribution of the two participant quarks to the transverse momentum distribution is then the convolution of two TP-like functions. The model distribution can be used to fit the experimental spectra measured by different collaborations. The related parameters such as the entropy index-related, effective temperature, and revised index are then obtained. The trends of these parameters are useful to understand the characteristic of high energy collisions.

   Transverse spherocity is an event shape observable having a very unique capability to separate the events based on their geometrical shapes. Recent results from experiments at the LHC suggest that transverse spherocity is an important event classifier in small collision systems. In this work, we use transverse spherocity for the first time in heavy-ion collisions and perform an extensive study on azimuthal anisotropy of charged particles produced in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=5.02$ TeV using A Multi-Phase Transport Model (AMPT). The azimuthal anisotropy is estimated using the 2-particle correlation method, which suppresses the non-flow effects significantly with an appropriate pseudorapidity gap of particle pairs. The results from AMPT are compared with estimations from PYTHIA8 (Angantyr) model and it is found that with the chosen pseudorapidity gap the residual non-flow effects become negligible. We found that the high spherocity events have nearly zero elliptic flow while low spherocity events contribute significantly to elliptic flow of spherocity-integrated events. Our studies indicate that using transverse spherocity in heavy-ion collisions, one can enhance and/or suppress the collective effects.
