The present work presents a study of jet production in the central region (|η| |η| s = 13.6 TeV, s = 20 TeV, and s = 27 TeV. These energies are the present and expected future energies of the Large Hadron Collider. In addition, the measurement of dijets—where the dijet selected is the one leading the jet in the central region and the second jet is the one with the sub-leading role in the forward region—was investigated with the same collision energies. Jets are reconstructed with the anti-kT (R = 0.5) algorithm in the transverse momentum range pT = 15–1000 GeV/c. Different Monte Carlo event generators were used: PYTHIA, HERWIG, and EPOS-LHC. The momentum, multiplicity, energy, pseudorapidity, and azimuthal angle of the jets were measured. In addition, the dijet multiplicity and the difference in the azimuthal angle were measured. The generation of events was carried out using the Rivet analysis framework. It is observed that, when the energy of the collision increases, the production of the jets in the central and forward regions and the dijets multiplicity increase; overall an agreement is observed between the three event generators. The disagreement between the different generators points to potential areas for development or additional study.
