Description

Jet reconstruction and jet structure variables provide important information to study the interaction between hard scattered partons and the Quark-Gluon Plasma. This talk presents the measurement of the inclusive cross-section for fully reconstructed jets in pp collisions at \sqrt{s}=2.76 TeV, which provides an essential reference for jet measurements in Pb-Pb collisions at the same \sqrt{s_{NN}}. In addition, we report the inclusive cross section and jet structure measurements for charged particle jets in pp collisions at \sqrt{s}=7 TeV. These measurements utilize the ALICE central barrel tracking system to detect charged particles with good efficiency above 150 MeV/c, together with the Electromagnetic Calorimeter (EMCal). The jet cross section and structure measurements are compared to theoretical calculations.
