Microcanonical Jet-fragmentation in proton-proton collisions at LHC Energy

Abstract

In this paper, we show that the distribution of the longitudinal momentum fraction of charged hadrons dN/dzdN/dz inside jets stemming from proton-proton collisions at s\sqrt{s} = 7 TeV center of mass energy can be described by a statistical jet-fragmentation model. This model combines microcanonical statistics and super-statistics induced by multiplicity fluctuations. The resulting scale dependence of the parameters of the model turns out to be similar to what was observed in electron-positron annihilations in Urmossy, Barnaf\"oldi, and Bir\'o.
