Fluctuations and Selection Bias in 5 and 13 TeV p-p Collisions: Where are the jets?

The ALICE collaboration recently reported high-statistics $f p_t$ spectra from 5 TeV and 13 TeV p-p collisions with intent to determine the role of jets in high-multiplicity collisions.In Winch Mount Plate the present study a two-component (soft + hard) model (TCM) of hadron production in p-p collisions is applied to ALICE $f p_t$ spectra.As in previous TCM studies of A-B collision systems jet and nonjet contributions to $f p_t$ spectra are accurately separated over the entire $f p_t$ acceptance.The Connection Protector statistical significance of data-model differences is established leading to insights concerning selection bias and spectrum model validity.
