Abstract A study of inclusive trijet production in proton-proton collisions at √ s = 13 TeV is presented. The data samples were collected with the CMS detector at the LHC during a low intensity run in the year 2016, with an integrated luminosity of 0.042 pb−1 . Measurements of the differential cross sections as a function of the jet transverse momentum pT , pseudorapidity η, and two azimuthal decorrelation observables with two different scenarios are presented. Detector resolutions, migration matrices, fake rates, and miss rates are presented as well. For ∆φdijet observable the scenario is: jets with a minimal pT = 20 GeV are selected, with an additional requirement that the leading jet pT > 35 GeV, and a configuration which requires the pseudorapidity of one jet to be in the central region defined by |ηc| < 2.0, and the two other jets are required to be present in a more forward pseudorapidity region defined by |ηf1,f2| > 2.0, and lie in the same pseudorapidity hemisphere, i.e. (ηf1 . ηf2 > 0). For φ13 observable the scenario is: jets with a minimal pT = 35 GeV are selected, with an additional requirement that the leading jet pT > the subleading jet pT > the third jet pT > 35 GeV, and a configuration where the leading and subleading jets are present in the pseudorapidity region defined by |η1,2| < 2.8, and the third jet is required to be present in a more forward area defined by 3.2 < |η3| < 4.7. These low pT cuts on jets in combination with that wide range of η cuts allow for the low-x regime to be probed. |
