Evidence of b-Jet Quenching in PbPb Collisions at √s[subscript NN] = 2.76 TeV

The production of jets associated to bottom quarks is measured for the first time in PbPb collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 2.76 TeV per nucleon pair. Jet spectra are reported in the transverse momentum (p[subscript T]) range of 80–250  GeV/c, and within pseudorapidity |η| < 2. The nuclear...

description The production of jets associated to bottom quarks is measured for the first time in PbPb collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 2.76 TeV per nucleon pair. Jet spectra are reported in the transverse momentum (p[subscript T]) range of 80–250  GeV/c, and within pseudorapidity |η| < 2. The nuclear modification factor (R[subscript AA]) calculated from these spectra shows a strong suppression in the b-jet yield in PbPb collisions relative to the yield observed in pp collisions at the same energy. The suppression persists to the largest values of p[subscript T] studied, and is centrality dependent. The R[subscript AA] is about 0.4 in the most central events, similar to previous observations for inclusive jets. This implies that jet quenching does not have a strong dependence on parton mass and flavor in the jet p[subscript T] range studied.
