A SYSTEMATIC STUDY OF TRANSEVERSE SPECTRA OF JETS AT LHC ENERGIES

Transverse momentum spectra of charged jets from two different experiments --- proton-lead collisions at 5.02 TeV and lead-lead collisions at 2.76 TeV --- have been analysed systematically, along with a feedback from proton-proton collisions, in the light of Tsallis non-extensive statistics and multiplicity as well as temperature fluctuations. The analytical results hint at possible occurrence of a deconfined or weakly coupled partonic state in systems having relatively high participant nucleons.
