Description
Jets are an important tool in testing QCD and probing the hot and dense nuclear matter created in high energy heavy-ion collisions. They can be used to study hard scatterings, fragmentation and hadronisation and how this processes differ from baseline vacuum measurements in case of presence of a partonic medium. Vacuum measurements are obtained from proton-proton collisions.
Data taken by the ALICE detector system in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV and in heavy ion collisions at sqrt(s) = 2.76 have been analysed and results for jet pT spectra, R_AA, cross section and inclusive structure are presented. The procedures used to reconstruct jets and to extract them from a background will be discussed.
