Abstract: (APS)
The ALICE Collaboration reports measurements of the semi-inclusive distribution of charged-particle jets recoiling from a high transverse momentum (high ) charged hadron, in and central Pb-Pb collisions at center-of-mass energy per nucleon–nucleon collision TeV. The large uncorrelated background in central Pb-Pb collisions is corrected using a data-driven statistical approach which enables precise measurement of recoil jet distributions over a broad range in and jet resolution parameter . Recoil jet yields are reported for , 0.4, and 0.5 in the range and , where is the azimuthal angular separation between hadron trigger and recoil jet. The low- reach of the measurement explores unique phase space for studying jet quenching, the interaction of jets with the quark–gluon plasma generated in high-energy nuclear collisions. Comparison of distributions from and central Pb-Pb collisions probes medium-induced jet energy loss and intra-jet broadening, while comparison of their acoplanarity distributions explores in-medium jet scattering and medium response. The measurements are compared to theoretical calculations incorporating jet quenching.Note:
