Studies of jet quenching using isolated-photon+jet correlations in PbPb and pp collisions at √ sNN=2.76 TeV

Results from the first study of isolated-photon + jet correlations in relativistic heavy ion collisions are reported. The analysis uses data from PbPb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 2.76 TeV per nucleon pair corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 150 μb−1 recorded by the CMS experi...

description Results from the first study of isolated-photon + jet correlations in relativistic heavy ion collisions are reported. The analysis uses data from PbPb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 2.76 TeV per nucleon pair corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 150 μb−1 recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC. For events containing an isolated photon with transverse momentum pγ[over]T >60 GeV/c and an associated jet with pJet[over]T>30 GeV/c, the photon + jet pT imbalance is studied as a function of collision centrality and compared to pp data and pythia calculations at the same collision energy. Using the pγ[over]T of the isolated photon as an estimate of the momentum of the associated parton at production, this measurement allows an unbiased characterisation of the in-medium parton energy loss. For more central PbPb collisions, a significant decrease in the ratio pJet[over]T/pγ[over]T relative to that in the pythia reference is observed. Furthermore, significantly more pγ[over]T>60 GeV/c photons in PbPb are observed not to have an associated pJet[over]T>30 GeV/c jet, compared to the reference. However, no significant broadening of the photon + jet azimuthal correlation is observed.
