Sumario:Highly energetic jets produced in ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions are considered to be direct probes to study the properties of the hot and dense QCD matter created in these collisions. Measurements of the inclusive jet yield and fragmentation functions of jets into charged particles in Pb+Pb collisions are sensitive to the strength and mechanism of jet quenching. Measurements of jets opposite in azimuth to a direct photon provide a complementary sensitivity by changing the partonic contribution of the jets and constraining the initial kinematics of the hard scattering with the photon. In this talk, we present the latest ATLAS measurement of jets and their properties in PbPb collisions at 5.02 TeV.
