Comparing transverse momentum balance of b jet pairs in pp and PbPb collisions at s N N = 5.02 $$ sqrt{s_{mathrm{NN}}}=5.02 $$ TeV

Abstract The transverse momentum balance of pairs of back-to-back b quark jets in PbPb and pp collisions recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC is reported.The center-of-mass energy in both collision systems is Outdoor Art 5.02 TeV per nucleon pair.Compared to the pp collision baseline, b quark jets have a larger imbalance in the most central Pb
