Abstract

Event shape variables, constructed from the four-momenta of the final-state objects in an event, are sensitive to the predictions of quantum chromodynamics in multijet production. A measurement of five event shape variables is presented, using proton-proton collision data collected at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV with the CMS detector during 2016-2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb1^{-1}. The variables are evaluated using the charged particles inside jets. After correcting for detector effects, their distributions are compared with the results from the predictions from a number of models for multijet production. Overall, there is general agreement between several theoretical predictions and the data.
