Jets provide a powerful tool for probing the dynamics of the quark-gluon plasma created in Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC. The modification of high-pT jets as they propagate in the quark-gluon plasma provides insight on structure of the plasma at short-length scale. Such modifications have been observed in a variety of measurements of single jet, dijet, photon-jet and charged-particle ...

To precisely understand the effect of the hot and dense medium produced in central PbPb collisions on the production of jets and hadrons, initial-state effects such as the nuclear modification of the parton distribution functions (nPDF) must also be understood. These initial-state nuclear effects may be accessed by measuring the distributions of charged particles, inclusive jets, and dijet...

Jet quenching is a signature of the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) produced in heavy ion collisions. As a result of partonic energy loss in the medium, the jet spectrum in Pb-Pb collisions is suppressed compared to the same spectrum measured in pp collisions scaled by the number of binary collisions. However, the jets can be influenced by all stages of the collision. To disentangle the final state...

Jet is known as the "footprint" of high energy quark and gluon produced in high energy scattering, and has been an excellent probe for short-distance dynamics of QCD and potential new physics. Jet quenching is recognized as a key evidence for the discovery of quark-gluon plasma in relativistic heavy ion collisions. However, quantifying the jet quenching in a hot and dense medium is...
