Description
The LHC heavy-ion physics programme aims at investigating the fundamental properties of nuclear matter under extreme conditions of energy density and temperature, where a transition to a Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) is expected. Jets are now considered as established probes of the QGP due to their substantial energy loss while traversing the medium, resulting in a modification of their transverse momentum spectrum. To study nuclear effects on jet production, the ratio of the Pb-Pb jet transverse momentum spectrum divided by the pp reference, the so-called nuclear modification factor, is measured.
We will present measurements of inclusive charged jet production in Pb-Pb at the highest centre- of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV, and compare to the newly measured charged jet results in pp at the same beam energy, based on data samples collected with ALICE at the LHC in 2015.
