Description

The LHC data on various high transverse momentum hadron and jet observables (nuclear modification factors for inclusive hadrons and jets, jet fragmentation function and jet shapes, D-meson and b-jet spectra) in PbPb collisions at center-of-mass energy 2.76 TeV per nucleon pair are analyzed and interpreted within PYQUEN jet quenching model. Selfconsistent jet quenching pattern is obtained with PYQUEN simulations taking into account wide-angle radiative and collisional partonic energy loss. The contribution of radiative and collisional energy loss mechanisms to the medium-modified jet characteristics is dicussed.
