Probing jet hadrochemistry in Pb--Pb collisions with ALICE
Abstract
Jet substructure measurements in heavy-ion collisions provide constraints on jet quenching and the medium response in the QGP. Though there has been remarkable progress in inclusive-charged-hadron jet substructure measurements, understanding the identified particle composition of jets and their modification in heavy-ion collisions has proven challenging. Jet quenching models predict that the jet hadrochemical composition may be modified in heavy-ion collisions due to jet-medium interactions, as well as the medium response. Measurements of identified particles in jets can help discriminate between various parton-QGP interactions. We present the first measurements of π, K, and p ratios within charged-particle-jets, as well as in the underlying event, as a function of particle transverse momentum in pp and Pb--Pb collisions at sNN = 5.02 TeV. These measurements leverage the excellent PID capabilities of ALICE over a wide transverse momentum range. These results aim to understand soft particle production mechanisms and distinguish modified jet fragmentation from bulk effects.
