Investigation of Event Shape Variables as Discriminators of Jet Topology in High-Energy PP Collisions at Different Energies

Abstract

In proton-proton (pp) interactions at high energies, the shape of an event defined by the distribution of particle momenta is an effective tool for probing the underlying event topology. This study looks at event shape observables, namely transverse sphericity, sphericity, aplanarity etc. to check how they vary with the jet production. We use PYTHIA simulations to assess proton-proton collision data at center-of-mass energies of 7, 13.6 and 27 TeV. This study intends to provide insight into the efficacy of transverse sphericity, sphericity and aplanarity as a discriminator in different energy regimes, with implications for jet topology studies in future high energy experiments.
