Exploring jet substructure with jet shapes in ALICE

Nuclear Experiment 2019-08-21 v1

Abstract

The characterization of the jet substructure can give insight into the microscopic nature of the modification induced on high-momentum partons by the Quark-Gluon Plasma that is formed in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Jet shapes allow us to study the modification of parton to jet fragmentation and virtuality, probing jet energy redistribution, intra-jet broadening or collimation and possible flavour hierarchy. Results of a selected set of jet shapes will be presented for \mboxpPb\mbox{p--Pb} collisions at sNN=5.02 TeV\sqrt{s_{\scriptscriptstyle \rm NN}}= 5.02~\mathrm{TeV} and for \mboxPbPb\mbox{Pb--Pb} collisions at sNN=2.76 TeV\sqrt{s_{\scriptscriptstyle \rm NN}} = 2.76~\mathrm{TeV}. Results are also compared with PYTHIA calculations and models that include in-medium energy loss.
