Simulation Study of Energy-Energy Correlators at LHCb

We explore a simulation-based study of Energy-Energy Correlators (EECs) within the context of the Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) experiment. EECs are powerful observables designed to probe the angular distribution of energy in high-energy collisions, offering deep insights into both perturbative and non-perturbative regimes of QCD dynamics. In this study, we investigate EECs in simulated proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV, as observed by the LHCb detector at the Large Hadron Collider, located at CERN. Our work focuses on simulation performed using the Monte Carlo generator PYTHIA 8, generating events involving electroweak Z boson production and hard QCD processes, such as the production of beauty-antibeauty quark pairs. We also analyze EEC distributions both with and without jet reconstruction. The overall goal of this study is to characterize the behavior of EECs in the LHCb acceptance region.
