Motivation Jet Fragmentation Function (Pb-Pb)

 Jet-medium interactions in the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) created in high-energy
heavy-ion collisions not only reduces the total energy of the reconstructed jets
but also change the energy and momentum distributions among the jet
constituents.

 We present two jet substructure measurements:

1 Jet fragmentation function which describes the longitudinal momentum
distribution of hadrons inside a reconstructed jet and
2 Jet Shape to study the radial momentum distribution of hadrons inside jets.

 We use the Pb-Pb and pp data at √sNN = 5.02 TeV recorded by the ATLAS
collaboration and Au+Au data at √sNN = 200 GeV recorded by the STAR col-
laboration to compare with our studies of jet fragmentation function and the data
recorded by CMS collaboration at √sNN = 5.02 TeV to compare with our studies of
jet shape measurments using the JETSCAPE framework [1].

Au collisions for three pTjet ranges for JETSCAPE calculations compared with STAR
experimental data [9]. (Bottom panel) shows the ratio of jet fragmentation function

Jet Fragmentation Jet Shape Jet Shape (Pb-Pb)

Function
Provides information about the Provides information about the radial
momentum distribution of charged momentum fraction of particles with
particles inside jets respect to the jet

where Nch is the number of charged
particles inside jets and z is the
momentum fraction between the
charged particle and the jet.
where ∆ra and ∆rb define the annular
edges of ∆r and δr=∆rb-∆ra. pTtrk is the
transverse momentum of each
charged particle.

(Bottom panel)shows the ratio of P(∆r) between PbPb to pp compared with CMS
experimental data for three pT trk ranges [10].

Conclusions
 Insufficient enhancements at small-z is due to the lack of recoils or medium
response in LBT. This gives also deviations at intermediate-z in PbPb due to
correlation between different z in jet fragmentation distribution.
