Description
The ALICE Collaboration presents results of a search for jet quenching effects in high multiplicity pp collisions at
In this poster, we will show that the acoplanarity distributions, measured in high multiplicity events, exhibit a marked suppression and broadening when compared to the corresponding distributions obtained from minimum bias events. The distributions are corrected for momentum smearing due to instrumental effects. The observed features are not caused by jet quenching, since they can be reproduced by PYTHIA 8 event generator, which does not account for jet quenching. Analysis of the PYTHIA events reveals that the suppression and broadening of the hadron-jet acoplanarity distributions are the consequence of a bias induced by the ALICE high multiplicity trigger.
