Measurement of jet radial profiles in Pb$-$Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV

Understand

The jet radial structure and particle transverse momentum ($p_{\rm{T}}$) composition within jets are presented in centrality-selected Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV.

• Track-based jets, which are also called charged jets, were reconstructed with a resolution parameter of $R=0.3$ at midrapidity $|\eta_\mathrm{ch\,jet}|<0.6$ for transverse momenta $p_\rm{T,\,ch\,jet}=30$-$120$ GeV/$c$.
• Jet-hadron correlations in relative azimuth and pseudorapidity space ($\Delta\varphi$, $\Delta\eta$) are measured to study the distribution of the associated particles around the jet axis for different $p_\rm{T, assoc}$-ranges between 1 and 20 GeV/$c$.
• The data in Pb-Pb collisions are compared to reference distributions for pp collisions, obtained using embedded PYTHIA simulations.
