Abstract The transverse momentum balance of pairs of back-to-back b quark jets in PbPb and pp collisions recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC is reported.The center-of-mass Interior Door Handles energy in both collision systems is 5.02 TeV per nucleon pair.

Compared to the pp collision baseline, b quark jets have a larger imbalance in the most central PbPb collisions, as expected from the jet quenching effect.The data are also compared to the corresponding Pet Bowl measurement with inclusive dijets.In the most central collisions, the imbalance of b quark dijets is comparable to that of inclusive dijets.
