Description
Heavy quarks are produced in hard scattering processes during the early stages of a heavy-ion collision at ultra-relativistic energies. Their annihilation rate is negligible, and they participate in the whole medium evolution losing their energy via radiative and collisional processes while traversing through the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) formed in such collisions. This allows us to study the dynamical properties of the QGP.
The measurement of heavy-flavour jets gives a more direct access to the initial parton kinematics and can provide further constraints for heavy-quark energy loss models, in particular adding information on how the radiated energy is dissipated. In order to assess the heavy-flavour production modification in heavy-ion collisions, baseline measurements in pp and p-Pb collisions are needed. In addition, measurements in pp collisions are a fundamental tool to validate models based on perturbative QCD (pQCD).
In this poster, measurements of the production of D$^0$-tagged charged jets in pp collisions will be discussed. In addition, the jet momentum fraction carried by the D-meson in different intervals of jet $p_{\text{T}}$ is reported. Comparison to different predictions from Monte-Carlo generators and pQCD calculations with PYTHIA and POWHEG is shown.
