Description

The fragmentation function and transverse momentum profile (shape) of inclusive jets in 2.76 TeV PbPb collisions are reported in this poster. Jets with transverse momentum $p_T$ > 100 GeV/c are measured using anti-$k_T$ algorithm with radius dR=0.3. Charged particles with p$_T$ > 1 GeV/c are used to investigate the fragmentation pattern. The pp collisions at the same center-of-mass energy is analyzed to be used as a reference for the observation of medium effects in PbPb collision. A centrality-dependent modification of the fragmentation function and jet shape is found. A significant enhancement of charged particles of $p_T$ < 3GeV/c and their rearrangement toward periphery of jet cone are observed from the PbPb/pp ratio for the most central collisions.
