Observation of medium-induced modifications of Jet fragmentation in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN =5.02 TeV using isolated photon-tagged jets

Measurements of fragmentation functions for jets associated with an isolated photon are presented for the first time in pp and Pb-Pb collisions. The analysis uses data collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV. Fragmentation functions ar...

Observation of medium-induced modifications of Jet fragmentation in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN =5.02 TeV using isolated photon-tagged jets
description Measurements of fragmentation functions for jets associated with an isolated photon are presented for the first time in pp and Pb-Pb collisions. The analysis uses data collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV. Fragmentation functions are obtained for jets with pjet T > 30 GeV=c in events containing an isolated photon with pγ T > 60 GeV=c, using charged tracks with transverse momentum ptrk T > 1 GeV=c in a cone around the jet axis. The association with an isolated photon constrains the initial pT and azimuthal angle of the parton whose shower produced the jet. For central Pb-Pb collisions, modifications of the jet fragmentation functions are observed when compared to those measured in pp collisions, while no significant differences are found in the 50% most peripheral collisions. Jets in central Pb-Pb events show an excess (depletion) of low (high) pT particles, with a transition around 3 GeV=c.
