Description
We present results of a study of charged particle jet properties in pp
collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV using the ALICE detector.
Jets are reconstructed using charged tracks at mid-rapidity with the
anti-$\rm k_{t}$ [1] jet finding algorithm from FastJet.
We will discuss the transverse momentum dependence of three jet
properties: charged particle multiplicity, jet size, and radial
distribution of transverse momentum about the jet direction for jets
in the $\rm p_{t}$ range from 20 to 100 GeV/c. The results are
compared with available model predictions. These measurements in $pp$
collisions will form the baseline for similar measurements in the more
complex environment of A+A collisions.
