Description
Highly energetic jets produced in relativistic heavy ion collisions
provide an important tool to study the QCD medium created in these
collisions. These jets suffer energy loss and modification of their
parton shower through interactions with the medium— a phenomenon known
as jet quenching. A generic feature of such energy loss is the
reduction in jet production rates. In this talk, new ATLAS results
will be presented on the suppression of inclusive jet production rates
in Pb+Pb collisions at 2.76 TeV. Measurements of the nuclear
modification factor RAA for fully reconstructed jets will be
presented. These measurements cover a large kinematic range in jet
transverse momentum and are differential in jet rapidity and collision
centrality and provide sensitivity to the details of the quenching
mechanism including the values of medium transport coefficients.
