Jet-hadron correlations in PbPb collisions at √sNN=5.02 TeV with ALICE — •Luisa Bergmann for the ALICE Germany collaboration — Physikalisches Institut, Heidelberg
In relativistic heavy-ion collisions, a deconfined medium with high energy density is created, the quark-gluon plasma. Amongst other observables, jets – originating from primordial hard scatterings – act as useful probes for the properties of this medium. As the initial partons traverse the quark-gluon plasma, they lose energy by interacting with the constituents of the medium. The study of this so called "jet quenching" yields insight into the properties of the medium.
By analyzing the angular correlations of jets with charged hadrons, one obtains information about the energy loss of jets in the medium. The study of these correlation functions for different orientations of the jet to the event plane allows for a measurement of the energy loss which is sensitive to the in-medium path-length of the jet. In this talk, the current status of a study of event plane dependent jet-hadron correlations with data collected by the ALICE experiment in PbPb collisions at √sNN=5.02 TeV is presented.
