Abstract
In ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions a hot, dense medium of strongly interacting matter called the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) is formed. One of the main goals of jet measurements is to study how the fragmentation of hard scattered partons is modified as they traverse the medium. A study of jet spectra and correlations in a variety of colliding systems will allow a better understanding of the detailed mechanisms of the in-medium energy loss and will further constrain theoretical models for this process. This work will report the recent ALICE results on jet production, di-jet acoplanarity kTkT and hadron+jethadron+jet correlations in pp, p–Pb and Pb–Pb collisions and discuss their sensitivity to a modified jet fragmentation function.
