Description

Studies of dijet production in pPb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV using the CMS detector are presented. Jets are reconstructed with the anti-kT algorithm with R=0.3, using combined information from tracking and calorimetry. The dijet momentum balance, azimuthal angle correlations and pseudorapidity distributions are studied and compared to results from PYTHIA reference calculations representing pp collisions.
