Abstract

The productions of inclusive b-jet and bbˉb\bar{b} dijets in Pb+Pb collisions have been investigated by considering the heavy quark and the light quark in-medium evolution simultaneously. The initial hard processes of inclusive b-jet and bbˉb\bar{b} dijets productions are described by a next-to-leading order (NLO) plus parton shower Monte Carlo (MC) event generator SHERPA which can be well-matched with the experimental data in p+p collisions. The framework combines the Langevin transport model to describe the evolution of the bottom quark also its collisional energy loss and the higher-twist description to consider the radiative energy loss of both the bottom and light quarks. We compare the theoretical simulation of inclusive jet and inclusive b-jet RAAR_{\rm AA} in Pb+Pb collisions at sNN=2.76\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=2.76 TeV with the experimental data, and then present the theoretical simulation of the momentum balance of the bbˉb\bar{b} dijet in Pb+Pb collisions at 5.025.02 TeV with the recent CMS data for the first time. A similar trend as that in inclusive dijets has been observed in bbˉb\bar{b} dijets, the production distribution is shifted to smaller xJx_J due to the jet quenching effect. At last, the prediction of the normalized azimuthal angle distribution of the bbˉb\bar{b} dijet in Pb+Pb collisions at 5.025.02 TeV has been reported. The medium induced energy loss effect of the bbˉb\bar{b} dijets will overall suppress its production, but the same side (Δϕ0\Delta \phi \to 0 region) suffers more energy loss than away side (Δϕπ\Delta \phi \to \pi region), therefore lead to the suppression on the same side and the enhancement on the away side in the normalized azimuthal angle distribution in A+A collisions.
