Sumario:The latest jet measurements in 5.02 TeV Pb+Pb collisions with the ATLAS Experiment at the LHC are presented. Jets are direct probes of the quark-gluon plasma produced in heavy-ion collisions as their modifications with respect to jets produced in pp collisions provide insight into their interactions with this QCD medium. The results shown in these proceedings include measurements of nuclear modification factor of jets, jet fragmentation functions, the momentum and angular dependence of charged particle yields within and around jets, and the correlations of jets with direct photons. The presented measurements are also directly compared to state of the art theoretical models and provide important information to understand the strength and mechanism of the jet quenching.
