Introduction and Motivation RAA for small to large radius jet cones
In ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions, the extremely dense de-confined state of The inclusive jet-RAA for various jet cone sizes compared to the experimental data
partons, the Quark-gluon plasma is created. Jet medium interactions not only from the CMS[9]
reduces the total energy of the reconstructed jets but also changes the energy
and momentum distribution among the jet constituents .

We calculate the jet nuclear modification factor and the jet fragmentation
function, in comparison with the experimental data from the LHC and the STAR,
respectively.
A recent important measurement by the CMS collaboration was the jet-R AA for
broader area jet cones and comparison with several model predictions. There
remains significant uncertainty in the predictions for larger jet cones.

We carry out the same calculations using the JETSCAPE framework [1] and hope
to develop a more complete idea of the evolution of the partonic shower with the
specified Initial conditions and Hydrodynamic medium response.

collisions are performed within the
JETSCAPE Framework ( version 3.5.1).
Jet Fragmentation Function (Au-Au)
The initial conditions is generated using
(2+1)D TRENTo [4] and the parton shower
is produced via PYTHIA [4], followed by
viscous hydrodynamic evolution using the
(2+1)D MUSIC [5].

The simulations are also done for

evolution in different low virtuality phase
models like MARTINI [6] and AdS/CFT [7].
