Abstract / Description of output

This letter presents a measurement of the nuclear modification factor of large-radius jets in βˆšπ‘ π‘β’π‘=5.02  TeV Pb+Pb collisions by the ATLAS experiment. The measurement is performed using 1.72  nbβˆ’1 and 257  pbβˆ’1 of Pb+Pb and 𝑝⁒𝑝 data, respectively. The large-radius jets are reconstructed with the anti-π‘˜π‘‘ algorithm using a radius parameter of 𝑅=1.0, by reclustering anti-π‘˜π‘‘ 𝑅=0.2 jets, and are measured over the transverse momentum (𝑝𝑇) kinematic range of 158<𝑝𝑇<1000  GeV and absolute pseudorapidity |𝑦|<2.0. The large-radius jet constituents are further reclustered using the π‘˜π‘‘ algorithm in order to obtain the splitting parameters, βˆšπ‘‘12 and Δ⁒𝑅12, which characterize the transverse momentum scale and angular separation for the hardest splitting in the jet, respectively. The nuclear modification factor, 𝑅𝐴⁒𝐴, obtained by comparing the Pb+Pb jet yields to those in 𝑝⁒𝑝 collisions, is measured as a function of jet transverse momentum (𝑝𝑇) and βˆšπ‘‘12 or Δ⁒𝑅12. A significant difference in the quenching of large-radius jets having single subjet and those with more complex substructure is observed. Systematic comparison of jet suppression in terms of 𝑅𝐴⁒𝐴 for different jet definitions is also provided. Presented results support the hypothesis that jets with hard internal splittings lose more energy through quenching and provide a new perspective for understanding the role of jet structure in jet suppression.
