Measurement of charged-particle tracks correlated with jets in Pb+Pb and $pp$ collisions at 5.02 TeV with the ATLAS detector

Studies of the fragmentation of jets into charged particles in heavy-ion collisions can help in understanding the mechanism of jet quenching by the hot and dense QCD matter created in such collisions, the quark-gluon plasma (QGP).

Sumario:Studies of the fragmentation of jets into charged particles in heavy-ion collisions can help in understanding the mechanism of jet quenching by the hot and dense QCD matter created in such collisions, the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). This note presents a measurement of the angular distribution of charged particles around the jet axis in $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=$~5.02 TeV, Pb+Pb and $pp$ collisions, done using the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The measurement is performed inside jets of $R = 0.4$, and is extended to distances up to $ r < 0.6$ away from the jet axis. Results are provided as a function of collision centrality, and both jet and charged-particle transverse momentum.
