Title: Measurement of angular and momentum distributions of charged particles within and around jets in Pb+Pb and pp collisions at s NN = 5.02 TeV with ATLAS at the LHC

Abstract

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. These proceedings present a measurement of the angular distribution of charged particles around the jet axis in √sNN = 5.02 TeV Pb+Pb and pp collisions, done using the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The measurement is performed inside jets reconstructed with the anti-kt algorithm with radius parameter R = 0.4, and is extended to regions outside the jet cone. Here the results are presented as a function of Pb+Pb collision centrality, and both jet and charged-particle transverse momenta.
