Description
The energy loss of jets (jet quenching) is one of the most important signatures of the deconfined state of quarks and gluons (quark-gluon plasma) created in Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC. The measurement of jets recoiling from a trigger hadron uniquely enables the exploration of medium-induced modification of jet production. Jet deflection via multiple soft scatterings with the medium constituents may result in a broadening of the overall azimuthal correlation between the trigger hadron and the recoiling jet. In addition, the tail of this azimuthal correlation is sensitive to single-hard Molière scatterings off quasi-particles in the medium. The overall yield and R-dependence of the recoil jets also offers important information about jet energy loss and intra-jet broadening.
This contribution presents a measurement of charged-particle jets recoiling from a trigger hadron in pp and Pb-Pb collisions at
