Jet shapes in pp and Pb-Pb collisions at ALICE
Abstract
The aim of this work is to explore possible medium modifications to the substructure of inclusive charged jets in Pb-Pb relative to proton-proton collisions by measuring a set of jet shapes. The set of shapes includes the radial moment, , and the momentum dispersion D. They provide complementary information on the fragmentation and can help to discriminate between two different scenarios: intra-jet broadening or collimation as a result of jet quenching. \noindent The shapes are measured in Pb--Pb collisions at = 2.76 TeV with a constituent cutoff of 0.15 GeV/c and jet resolution 0.2. New techniques for background subtraction are applied and a two-dimensional unfolding is performed to correct the shapes to particle level. The corrected jet shapes for jet GeV/c are presented and discussed. The observed jet shape modifications suggest that the in-medium fragmentation is harder and more collimated than vacuum fragmentation as obtained by a PYTHIA calculation. The PYTHIA calculation is validated with proton-proton data at 7 TeV.
