Abstract

Modifications of the properties of jets in PbPb collisions, relative to those in pp collisions, are studied at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of sNN=\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}} = 5.02 TeV via correlations of charged particles with the jet axis in relative pseudorapidity (Δη\Delta \eta), relative azimuth (Δϕ\Delta \phi), and relative angular distance from the jet axis Δr=(Δη)2+(Δϕ)2\Delta \mathrm{r} = \sqrt{{(\Delta\eta)^{2}+(\Delta\phi)^{2}}}. This analysis uses data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 404 μ\mub1^{-1} and 27.4 pb1^{-1} for PbPb and pp collisions, respectively. Charged particle number densities, jet fragmentation functions, and jet shapes are presented as a function of PbPb collision centrality and charged-particle track transverse momentum, providing a differential description of jet modifications due to interactions with the quark-gluon plasma.
