    The Cms Statistical Analysis and Combination Tool: Combine
    (Springer Nature, 2024) Zhokin, A.; Zhizhin, I.; Zarubin, A.; Yuldashev, B.S.; Voytishin, N.; Vorotnikov, G.; Moran, D.
    This paper describes the Combine software package used for statistical analyses by the CMS Collaboration. The package, originally designed to perform searches for a Higgs boson and the combined analysis of those searches, has evolved to become the statistical analysis tool presently used in the majority of measurements and searches performed by the CMS Collaboration. It is not specific to the CMS experiment, and this paper is intended to serve as a reference for users outside of the CMS Collaboration, providing an outline of the most salient features and capabilities. Readers are provided with the possibility to run Combine and reproduce examples provided in this paper using a publicly available container image. Since the package is constantly evolving to meet the demands of ever-increasing data sets and analysis sophistication, this paper cannot cover all details of Combine. However, the online documentation referenced within this paper provides an up-to-date and complete user guide. © CERN, for the benefit of the CMS Collaboration 2024.

    Constraints on Anomalous Higgs Boson Couplings From Its Production and Decay Using the Ww Channel in Proton-Proton Collisions at √s=13 Tev
    (Springer, 2024) Hayrapetyan, A.; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Andrejkovic, J. W.; Bergauer, T.; Chatterjee, S.; Zhokin, A.
    A study of the anomalous couplings of the Higgs boson to vector bosons, including CP-violation effects, has been conducted using its production and decay in the WW channel. This analysis is performed on proton-proton collision data collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC during 2016-2018 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb(-1). The different-flavor dilepton (e mu) final state is analyzed, with dedicated categories targeting gluon fusion, electroweak vector boson fusion, and associated production with a W or Z boson. Kinematic information from associated jets is combined using matrix element techniques to increase the sensitivity to anomalous effects at the production vertex. A simultaneous measurement of four Higgs boson couplings to electroweak vector bosons is performed in the framework of a standard model effective field theory. All measurements are consistent with the expectations for the standard model Higgs boson and constraints are set on the fractional contribution of the anomalous couplings to the Higgs boson production cross section.

    Development of the Cms Detector for the Cern Lhc Run 3
    (Iop Publishing Ltd, 2024) Hayrapetyan, A.; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Andrejkovic, J. W.; Arnold, B.; Bergauer, H.; Zhokin, A.
    Since the initial data taking of the CERN LHC, the CMS experiment has undergone substantial upgrades and improvements. This paper discusses the CMS detector as it is configured for the third data-taking period of the CERN LHC, Run 3, which started in 2022. The entire silicon pixel tracking detector was replaced. A new powering system for the superconducting solenoid was installed. The electronics of the hadron calorimeter was upgraded. All the muon electronic systems were upgraded, and new muon detector stations were added, including a gas electron multiplier detector. The precision proton spectrometer was upgraded. The dedicated luminosity detectors and the beam loss monitor were refurbished. Substantial improvements to the trigger, data acquisition, software, and computing systems were also implemented, including a new hybrid CPU/GPU farm for the high-level trigger.

    The Effect of Radiation Damage on the Light Yield and Uniformity of Candidate Plastic Scintillator Tiles for the Cms Hadron Calorimeter Upgrade
    (Iop Publishing Ltd, 2025) Gevorgyan, A.; Petrosyan, A.; Tumasyan, A.; Van de Klundert, M.; Van Haevermaet, H.; Van Mechelen, P.; Zhokin, A.
    A study has been performed to understand the effects of radiation damage on various plastic scintillator tiles considered for a possible upgrade of the hadron calorimeter of the CMS detector. Measurements were made with unirradiated tiles and with tiles that had been irradiated in the CMS collision hall to a dose of 44 kGy. Results are presented for the tiles of different shapes in terms of the energy spectrum, efficiency as a function of the position at which each tile was hit, as well as light yield. All the tiles showed a light reduction of up to about 50%. The tiles with the shape currently used in the CMS detector did not see increased non-uniformity of light collection, while a significant disuniformity was observed for the tiles considered as alternatives.

    Elliptic Anisotropy Measurement of the F0(980) Hadron in Proton-Lead Collisions and Evidence for Its Quark-Antiquark Composition
    (Nature Portfolio, 2025) Hayrapetyan, A.; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Andrejkovic, J. W.; Bergauer, T.; Chatterjee, S.; Zhokin, A.
    Despite the f(0)(980) hadron having been discovered half a century ago, the question about its quark content has not been settled: it might be an ordinary quark-antiquark (q (q) over bar) meson, a tetraquark (q (q) over barq (q) over bar) exotic state, a kaon-antikaon (K (K) over bar) molecule, or a quark-antiquark-gluon (q (q) over barg) hybrid. This paper reports strong evidence that the f(0)(980) state is an ordinary q (q) over bar meson, inferred from the scaling of elliptic anisotropies (v(2)) with the number of constituent quarks (n(q)), as empirically established using conventional hadrons in relativistic heavy ion collisions. The f(0)(980) state is reconstructed via its dominant decay channel f(0)(980) -> pi(+)pi(-), in proton-lead collisions recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC, and its v(2) is measured as a function of transverse momentum (p(T)). It is found that the n(q) = 2 (q (q) over bar state) hypothesis is favored over n(q) = 4 (q (q) over barq (q) over bar or K (K) over bar states) by 7.7, 6.3, or 3.1 standard deviations in the p(T) < 10, 8, or 6 GeV/c ranges, respectively, and over n(q) = 3 (q<(q)over bar>g hybrid state) by 3.5 standard deviations in the p(T) < 8GeV/c range. This result represents the first determination of the quark content of the f(0)(980) state, made possible by using a novel approach, and paves the way for similar studies of other exotic hadron candidates.

    Girth and Groomed Radius of Jets Recoiling Against Isolated Photons in Lead-Lead and Proton-Proton Collisions at √snn=5.02 Tev
    (Elsevier, 2025) Hayrapetyan, A.; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Andrejkovic, J. W.; Bergauer, T.; Chatterjee, S.; Zhokin, A.
    This Letter presents the first measurements of the groomed jet radius R-g and the jet girth g in events with an isolated photon recoiling against a jet in lead-lead (PbPb) and proton-proton (pp) collisions at the LHC at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV. The observables R-g and g provide a quantitative measure of how narrow or broad a jet is. The analysis uses PbPb and pp data samples with integrated luminosities of 1.7 nb(-1) and 301 pb(-1), respectively, collected with the CMS experiment in 2018 and 2017. Events are required to have a photon with transverse momentum p(T)(gamma) > 100 GeV and at least one jet back-to-back in azimuth with respect to the photon and with transverse momentum p(T)(jet) such that p(T)(jet)/p(T)(gamma) > 0.4. The measured R-g and g distributions are unfolded to the particle level, which facilitates the comparison between the PbPb and pp results and with theoretical predictions. It is found that jets with p(T)(jet)/p(T)(gamma) > 0.8, i.e., those that closely balance the photon p(T)(gamma), are narrower in PbPb than in pp collisions. Relaxing the selection to include jets with p(T)(jet)/p(T)(gamma) > 0.4 reduces the narrowing of the angular structure of jets in PbPb relative to the pp reference. This shows that selection bias effects associated with jet energy loss play an important role in the interpretation of jet substructure measurements.

    Inclusive and Diferential Cross Section Measurements of T(t)over-Barb(b)over Production in the Lepton Plus Jets Channel at √s=13 Tev
    (Springer, 2024) Hayrapetyan, A.; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Andrejkovic, J. W.; Bergauer, T.; Chatterjee, S.; Zhokin, A.
    Measurements of inclusive and normalized differential cross sections of the associated production of top quark-antiquark and bottom quark-antiquark pairs, t (t) over barb (b) over bar, are presented. The results are based on data from proton-proton collisions collected by the CMS detector at a centre-of-mass energy of 13TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb(-1). The cross sections are measured in the lepton+jets decay channel of the top quark pair, using events containing exactly one isolated electron or muon and at least five jets. Measurements are made in four fiducial phase space regions, targeting different aspects of the t (t) over barb (b) over bar process. Distributions are unfolded to the particle level through maximum likelihood fits, and compared with predictions from several event generators. The inclusive cross section measurements of this process in the fiducial phase space regions are the most precise to date. In most cases, the measured inclusive cross sections exceed the predictions with the chosen generator settings. The only exception is when using a particular choice of dynamic renormalization scale, mu(R) = 1/2 Pi(i=t), (t) over bar ,b (b) over bar m(T, i)(,)(1/4) where m(T), (2)(i) = m(i)(2) + p(T,i)(2) are the transverse masses of top and bottom quarks. The differential cross sections show varying degrees of compatibility with the theoretical predictions, and none of the tested generators with the chosen settings simultaneously describe all the measured distributions.

    Ks0< and Λ((λ)over-Bar) Two-Particle Femtoscopic Correlations in Pbpb Collisions at √snn< Tev
    (Elsevier, 2024) Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Andrejkovic, J. W.; Bergauer, T.; Chatterjee, S.; Damanakis, K.; Zhokin, A.
    Two-particle correlations are presented for K-S(0), Lambda, and (Lambda) over bar strange hadrons as a function of relative momentum in lead-lead collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV. The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 0.607 nb(-1) and was collected using the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. These correlations are sensitive to quantum statistics and to final-state interactions between the particles. The source size extracted from the (KSKS0)-K-0 correlations is found to decrease from 4.6 to 1.6 fm in going from central to peripheral collisions. Strong interaction scattering parameters (i.e., scattering length and effective range) are determined from the Lambda K-S(0) and Lambda Lambda (including their charge conjugates) correlations using the Lednicky-Lyuboshitz model and are compared to theoretical and other experimental results.

    Measurement of Differential Zz Plus Jets Production Cross Sections in Pp Collisions at √s=13 Tev
    (Springer, 2024) Hayrapetyan, A.; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Andrejkovic, J. W.; Bergauer, T.; Chatterjee, S.; Zhokin, A.
    Diboson production in association with jets is studied in the fully leptonic final states, pp -> (Z/gamma(*))(Z/gamma(*)) + jets -> 2l2l'+ jets, (l, l ' = e or mu) in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb(-1) collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. Differential distributions and normalized differential cross sections are measured as a function of jet multiplicity, transverse momentum p(T), pseudorapidity eta, invariant mass and eta of the highest-p(T) and second-highest-p(T) jets, and as a function of invariant mass of the four-lepton system for events with various jet multiplicities. These differential cross sections are compared with theoretical predictions that mostly agree with the experimental data. However, in a few regions we observe discrepancies between the predicted and measured values. Further improvement of the predictions is required to describe the ZZ+jets production in the whole phase space.

    Measurement of Energy Correlators Inside Jets and Determination of the Strong Coupling Αs<
    (Amer Physical Soc, 2024) Hayrapetyan, A.; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Andrejkovic, J. W.; Bergauer, T.; Chatterjee, S.; Zhokin, A.
    Energy correlators that describe energy-weighted distances between two or three particles in a hadronic jet are measured using an event sample of root s = 13 TeV proton-proton collisions collected by the CMS experiment and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.3 fb(-1). The measured distributions are consistent with the trends in the simulation that reveal two key features of the strong interaction: confinement and asymptotic freedom. By comparing the ratio of the measured three- and two-particle energy correlator distributions with theoretical calculations that resum collinear emissions at approximate next-to-next-to-leading-logarithmic accuracy matched to a next-to-leading-order calculation, the strong coupling is determined at the Z boson mass: alpha(S)(m(Z)) = 0.1229(-0.0050)(+0.0040), the most precise alpha(S)(m(Z)) value obtained using jet substructure observables.

    Measurement of Inclusive and Differential Cross Sections for W+w-< Production in Proton-Proton Collisions at √s=13.6 Tev
    (Elsevier, 2025) Hayrapetyan, A.; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Andrejkovic, J. W.; Bergauer, T.; Chatterjee, S.; Zhokin, A.
    Measurements at root s = 13.6 TeV of the opposite-sign W boson pair production cross section in proton-proton collisions are presented. The data used in this study were collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC in 2022, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 34.8 fb(-1). Events are selected by requiring one electron and one muon of opposite charge. A maximum likelihood fit is performed on signal- and background-enriched data categories dfined by the flavor and charge of the leptons, the number of jets, and number of jets originating from b quarks. The overall sensitivity is significantly better than that of previous results with a similar integrated luminosity. The improvement comes from a more rfined control of experimental uncertainties and an improved fit strategy. An inclusive W+W- production cross section of 125.7 +/- 5.6 pb is measured, in agreement with standard model predictions. Cross sections are also reported in a fiducial region close to that of the detector acceptance, both inclusively and differentially, as a function of the jet multiplicity in the event. For the first time in proton-proton collisions, WWevents with zero, one, and at least two jets are studied simultaneously and compared with recent theoretical predictions.

    Measurement of Multidifferential Cross Sections for Dijet Production in Proton-Proton Collisions at √s=13tev
    (Springer, 2025) Hayrapetyan, A.; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Andrejkovic, J. W.; Bergauer, T.; Chatterjee, S.; Zhokin, A.
    A measurement of the dijet production cross section is reported based on proton-proton collision data collected in 2016 at root s = 13 TeV by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of up to 36.3 fb(-1). Jets are reconstructed with the anti-k(T) algorithm for distance parameters of R = 0.4 and 0.8. Cross sections are measured double-differentially (2D) as a function of the largest absolute rapidity vertical bar y vertical bar(max) of the two jets with the highest transverse momenta p(T) and their invariant mass m(1,2), and triple-differentially (3D) as a function of the rapidity separation y*, the total boost y(b), and either m(1,2) or the average p(T) of the two jets. The cross sections are unfolded to correct for detector effects and are compared with fixed-order calculations derived at next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbative quantum chromodynamics. The impact of the measurements on the parton distribution functions and the strong coupling constant at the mass of the Z boson is investigated, yielding a value of alpha(S)(m(Z)) = 0.1179 +/- 0.0019.

    Measurement of Multijet Azimuthal Correlations and Determination of the Strong Coupling in Proton-Proton Collisions at √s=13tev
    (Springer, 2024) Hayrapetyan, A.; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Andrejkovic, J. W.; Bergauer, T.; Chatterjee, S.; Zhokin, A.
    A measurement is presented of a ratio observable that provides a measure of the azimuthal correlations among jets with large transverse momentum p(T). This observable is measured in multijet events over the range of p(T) = 360-3170 GeV based on data collected by the CMS experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 134fb(-1). The results are compared with predictions from Monte Carlo parton-shower event generator simulations, as well as with fixed-order perturbative quantum chromodynamics (pQCD) predictions at next-to-leading-order (NLO) accuracy obtained with different parton distribution functions (PDFs) and corrected for nonperturbative and electroweak effects. Data and theory agree within uncertainties. From the comparison of the measured observable with the pQCD prediction obtained with the NNPDF3.1 NLO PDFs, the strong coupling at the Z boson mass scale is alpha S(mZ)=0.1177 +/- 0.0013(exp)(-0.0073)(+0.0116) (theo) = 0.1177(-0.0074)(+0.0117), where the total uncertainty is dominated by the scale dependence of the fixed-order predictions. A test of the running of alpha(S) in the TeV region shows no deviation from the expected NLO pQCD behaviour.

    Measurement of the Bs0→ J/Ψks0 Effective Lifetime From Proton-Proton Collisions at √s=13 Tev
    (Springer, 2024) Hayrapetyan, A.; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Andrejkovic, J. W.; Bergauer, T.; Chatterjee, S.; Zhokin, A.
    The effective lifetime of the B-s(0) meson in the decay B-s(0) -> J/psi K-S(0) is measured using data collected during 2016-2018 with the CMS detector in root s = 13 TeV proton-proton collisions at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb(-1). The effective lifetime is determined by performing a two-dimensional unbinned maximum likelihood fit to the B-s(0) meson invariant mass and proper decay time distributions. The resulting value of 1.59 +/- 0.07(stat) +/- 0.03(syst) ps is the most precise measurement to date and is in good agreement with the expected value.

    Measurement of the Double-Differential Inclusive Jet Cross Section in Proton-Proton Collisions at √s=5.02 TeV
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2025) Hayrapetyan, A.; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Andrejkovic, J. W.; Bergauer, T.; Chatterjee, S.; Zhokin, A.
    The inclusive jet cross section is measured as a function of jet transverse momentum p(T) and rapidity y. The measurement is performed using proton-proton collision data at root s = 5.02 TeV, recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 27.4 pb(-1). The jets are reconstructed with the anti-k(T) algorithm using a distance parameter of R = 0.4, within the rapidity interval |y| < 2, and across the kinematic range 0.06 < p(T)< 1 TeV. The jet cross section is unfolded from detector to particle level using the determined jet response and resolution. The results are compared to predictions of perturbative quantum chromodynamics, calculated at both next-to-leading order and next-to-next-to-leading order. The predictions are corrected for nonperturbative effects, and presented for a variety of parton distribution functions and choices of the renormalization/factorization scales and the strong coupling alpha(S).

    Measurement of the Higgs Boson Production Via Vector Boson Fusion and Its Decay Into Bottom Quarks in Proton-Proton Collisions at √s=13 Tev
    (Springer, 2024) Hayrapetyan, A.; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Andrejkovic, J. W.; Bergauer, T.; Chatterjee, S.; Zhokin, A.
    A measurement of the Higgs boson (H) production via vector boson fusion (VBF) and its decay into a bottom quark-antiquark pair (b (b) over bar) is presented using proton-proton collision data recorded by the CMS experiment at root s = 13TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 90.8 fb(-1). Treating the gluon-gluon fusion process as a background and constraining its rate to the value expected in the standard model (SM) within uncertainties, the signal strength of the VBF process, defined as the ratio of the observed signal rate to that predicted by the SM, is measured to be mu(qqH)(Hb (b) over bar) = 1.01(-0.46)(+0.55). The VBF signal is observed with a significance of 2.4 standard deviations relative to the background prediction, while the expected significance is 2.7 standard deviations. Considering inclusive Higgs boson production and decay into bottom quarks, the signal strength is measured to be mu(incl.)(Hb (b) over bar) = 0.99(-0.41)(+0.48), corresponding to an observed (expected) significance of 2.6 (2.9) standard deviations.

    Measurement of the Production Cross Section for a W Boson in Association With a Charm Quark in Proton-Proton Collisions at √s=13 Tev
    (Springer, 2024) Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Andrejkovic, J. W.; Bergauer, T.; Chatterjee, S.; Damanakis, K.; Zhokin, A.
    The strange quark content of the proton is probed through the measurement of the production cross section for a W boson and a charm (c) quark in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The analysis uses a data sample corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 138 fb(-1) collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. The W bosons are identified through their leptonic decays to an electron or a muon, and a neutrino. Charm jets are tagged using the presence of a muon or a secondary vertex inside the jet. The W + c production cross section and the cross section ratio R-c(+/-) = sigma(W+ + (c) over bar)/sigma(W- + c) are measured inclusively and differentially as functions of the transverse momentum and the pseudorapidity of the lepton originating from the W boson decay. The precision of the measurements is improved with respect to previous studies, reaching 1% in R-c(+/-) = 0.950 +/- 0.005 (stat)+/- 0.010 (syst). The measurements are compared with theoretical predictions up to next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbative quantum chromodynamics.

    Measurement of the Production Cross Section of a Higgs Boson With Large Transverse Momentum in Its Decays To a Pair of Τ Leptons in Proton-Proton Collisions at √s=13 Tev
    (Elsevier, 2024) Hayrapetyan, A.; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Andrejkovic, J. W.; Bergauer, T.; Chatterjee, S.; Zhokin, A.
    A measurement of the production cross section of a Higgs boson with transverse momentum greater than 250 GeV is presented where the Higgs boson decays to a pair of tau leptons. It is based on proton-proton collision data collected by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb(-1). Because of the large transverse momentum of the Higgs boson the tau leptons from its decays are boosted and produced spatially close, with their decay products overlapping. Therefore, a dedicated algorithm was developed to reconstruct and identify them. The observed (expected) significance of the measured signal with respect to the standard model background-only hypothesis is 3.5 (2.2) standard deviations. The product of the production cross section and branching fraction is measured to be 1.64(-0.54)(+0.68) times the standard model expectation. The fiducial differential production cross section is also measured as functions of the Higgs boson and leading jet transverse momenta. This measurement extends the probed large-transverse-momentum region in the tau tau final state beyond 600 GeV.

    Measurement of the Τ Lepton Polarization in Z Boson Decays in Proton-Proton Collisions at √s=13 Tev
    (Springer, 2024) Hayrapetyan, A.; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Andrejkovic, J. W.; Bergauer, T.; Chatterjee, S.; Zhokin, A.
    The polarization of tau leptons is measured using leptonic and hadronic tau lepton decays in Z -> tau(+)tau(-) events in proton-proton collisions at root s = 13 TeV recorded by CMS at the CERN LHC with an integrated luminosity of 36.3 fb(-1). The measured tau(-) lepton polarization at the Z boson mass pole is P-tau(Z) = -0.144 +/- 0.006 (stat) +/- 0.014 (syst) = -0.144 +/- 0.015, in good agreement with the measurement of the tau lepton asymmetry parameter of A(tau) = 0.1439 +/- 0.0043 = -P-tau(Z) at LEP. The tau lepton polarization depends on the ratio of the vector to axial-vector couplings of the tau leptons in the neutral current expression, and thus on the effective weak mixing angle sin(2)theta(eff)(W), independently of the Z boson production mechanism. The obtained value sin(2)theta(eff)(W) = 0.2319 +/- 0.0008(stat) +/- 0.0018(syst) = 0.2319 +/- 0.0019 is in good agreement with measurements at e(+)e(-) colliders.

    Multiplicity and Transverse Momentum Dependence of Charge-Balance Functions in Ppb and Pbpb Collisions at Lhc Energies
    (Springer, 2024) Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Andrejkovic, J. W.; Bergauer, T.; Chatterjee, S.; Damanakis, K.; Zhokin, A.
    Measurements of the charge-dependent two-particle angular correlation function in proton-lead (pPb) collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of root s(NN) = 8.16 TeV and lead-lead (PbPb) collisions at root s(NN) = 5.02 TeV are reported. The pPb and PbPb data sets correspond to integrated luminosities of 186 nb(-1) and 0.607 nb(-1), respectively, and were collected using the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The charge-dependent correlations are characterized by balance functions of same- and opposite-sign particle pairs. The balance functions, which contain information about the creation time of charged particle pairs and the development of collectivity, are studied as functions of relative pseudorapidity (Delta eta) and relative azimuthal angle (Delta phi), for various multiplicity and transverse momentum (p(T)) intervals. A multiplicity dependence of the balance function is observed in Delta eta and Delta phi for both systems. The width of the balance functions decreases towards high-multiplicity collisions in the momentum region < 2 GeV, for pPb and PbPb results. Integrals of the balance functions are presented in both systems, and a mild dependence of the charge-balancing fractions on multiplicity is observed. No multiplicity dependence is observed at higher transverse momentum. The data are compared with HYDJET, HIJING, and AMPT generator predictions, none of which capture completely the multiplicity dependence seen in the data. The comparison of results with different center-of-mass energies suggests that the balance functions become narrower at higher energies, which is consistent with the idea of delayed hadronization and the effect of radial flow.
