Dihadron and isolated direct photon-hadron angular correlations are measured in $$p$$$$+$$$$p$$ collisions at $$sqrt{s}=200$$ GeV. The correlations are sensitive to nonperturbative initial-state and final-state transverse momentum $$k_T$$ and $$j_T$$ in the azimuthal nearly back-to-back region $$Deltaphisimpi$$. In this region, transverse-momentum-dependent evolution can be studied when several different hard scales are measured. To have sensitivity to small transverse momentum scales, nonperturbative momentum widths of $$p_{rm out}$$, the out-of-plane transverse momentum component perpendicular to the trigger particle, are measured. These widths are used to investigate possible effects from transverse-momentum-dependent factorization breaking. When accounting for the longitudinal momentum fraction of the away-side hadron with respect to the near-side trigger particle, the widths are found to increase with the hard scale; this is qualitatively similar to the observed behavior in Drell-Yan and semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering interactions. The momentum widths are also studied as a function of center-of-mass energy by comparing to previous measurements at $$sqrt{s}=510$$ GeV. The nonperturbative jet widths also appear to increase with $$sqrt{s}$$ at a similar $$x_T$$, which is qualitatively consistent to similar measurements in Drell-Yan interactions.
