Abstract
Observations of collective signatures within jets of particles have been recently reported by measurements at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN laboratory, providing insights on the minimum conditions required for forming a Quark Gluon Plasma state. A quantitative comparison with data measurements on intrajet azimuthal anisotropies and predictions from PYTHIA event generator soft quantum chromodynamics (QCD) model parameter tunes: Monash, CP5, and QCD-scheme colour reconnection (CR) is presented. Energetic jets with transverse momentum over 550 GeV from proton–proton collisions at 13 TeV are reconstructed. Results from predictions using the standard E-scheme (ES) and jet axis choice are compared with those from the winner-take-all (WTA) frame. Significant differences are present between predictions from WTA and ES frames at the lowest and highest intrajet charged particles multiplicities (

), with the QCD-scheme CR tune showing the smallest variation between frames. Predictions for v

are consistent with the data measurements at a 2.3σ uncertainty level. These results set new guidance towards the search for intrajet collective effects and understanding of nonperturbative QCD dynamics originated from a single parton.
