Experimental data measured in √s=2.76 ATeV Pb+Pb collisions by the LHC experiments showed a significant imbalance in the transverse momenta of the two reconstructed jets with the highest transverse momenta. This momentum imbalance is assumed to be caused by the different in-medium path lengths and thereby different energy and momentum loss of the di-jets within the dense medium. To investigate this momentum loss we extended the transport model BAMPS which solves the full 3+1D Boltzmann equation for partons based on pQCD cross sections. One feature of BAMPS is the stochastic modeling of both 2→2 and 2↔3 scattering processes by employing a new, improved Gunion-Bertsch matrix element. We will show our results for the momentum asymmetry AJ using well-established experimental subtraction methods and have a closer look at the role of further recoil scattering processes of the initial shower partons on the momentum loss of the reconstructed jets. Thereby we will emphasize that for this investigation a careful consideration of the subtraction of the soft underlying background medium becomes crucial.
