Jet measurements with ALICE: substructure, dead cone, charm jets

Abstract

A selection of recent jet measurements are presented from the ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV, focusing on substructure results for inclusive and charmed jets. The groomed jet momentum fractions ($z_g$) of inclusive full jets are shown for various jet resolution parameters, and $z_g$, the groomed splitting radius ($\theta_g$) as well as the number of soft drops ($n_{\rm SD}$) of inclusive and charmed charged-particle jets are compared. The first direct measurement of the dead cone in heavy-flavor jets is also presented. Furthermore, the parallel momentum fractions of charmed D$^0$ mesons and $\Lambda_\mathrm{c}^+$ baryons are shown. Besides serving as a reference for jet structure modification measurements in heavy-ion collisions, these results provide new insight to QCD parton shower properties and flavor-dependent fragmentation processes.
