Abstract: (Elsevier)
Medium modification of γ -tagged jets in high-energy heavy-ion collisions is investigated within a linearized Boltzmann transport model which includes both elastic parton scattering and induced gluon emission. In Pb + Pb collisions at s=2.76 TeV , a γ -tagged jet is seen to lose 15% of its energy at 0–10% central collisions. Simulations also point to a sizable azimuthal angle broadening of γ -tagged jets at the tail of a distribution which should be measurable when experimental errors are significantly reduced. An enhancement at large zjet=pL/Ejet in jet fragmentation function at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) can be attributed to the dominance of leading particles in the reconstructed jet. A γ -tagged jet fragmentation function is shown to be more sensitive to jet quenching, therefore a better probe of the jet transport parameter.Note:
