Overview of the latest jet physics results from ALICE

Abstract

We overview recent jet measurements in pp and Pb-Pb collisions with the ALICE detector. ALICE reconstructs jets at midrapidity using the anti-kT algorithm, including both charged particle jets from the ALICE tracking detectors, and full jets from the combination of the ALICE electromagnetic calorimeter with the tracking system. We focus on inclusive and semi-inclusive jet measurements as well as jet substructure measurements, including a variety of groomed and ungroomed observables. In pp collisions, these results test pQCD techniques at pT,\;jet<140 GeV/c in a low pileup environment, and can constrain models of non-perturbative effects. In Pb-Pb collisions, these measurements test models of jet quenching in the quark-gluon plasma, and can be used to constrain the properties of high temperature QCD matter.
