| September 2016 | ||
| Abstract: Measurements of correlations in isolated-photon and jet pairs in pp and PbPb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = $ 5.02 TeV are reported. Jets are reconstructed with an anti-$k_\mathrm{T}$ clustering algorithm with a distance parameter of 0.3. For events containing a leading isolated photon with transverse momentum $p_\mathrm{T}^\gamma > $ 40 GeV/$c$ and an associated jet with $p_\mathrm{T}^\mathrm{Jet} > $ 30 GeV/$c$, the photon+jet transverse momentum balance in PbPb collisions is studied as a function of collision centrality and $p_\mathrm{T}^\gamma$. The results are compared to pp reference data collected at the same collision energy. A significant decrease in the ratio $p_\mathrm{T}^\mathrm{Jet}/p_\mathrm{T}^\gamma$ relative to that in the pp reference is observed. | ||

The black points are PbPb data, the red histogram is the signal template from PYTHIA+HYDJET, and the green histogram is the background template from a non-isolated data sideband. The purity is defined as the fraction of isolated photons in the signal region $\sigma _{\eta \eta }< $ 0.01 used in the isolated-photon + jet analysis. |

The correlation is shown on a logarithmic scale and its range is restricted to $ {\Delta \phi _{\mathrm {J}\gamma }} > \frac {3\pi }{5}$. The PbPb data is compared to smeared pp data.

| Summary |
| Studies of isolated-photon+jet correlations in pp and PbPb at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = $ 5.02 TeV are reported. The photon+jet transverse momentum ratio, $x_{\mathrm{J}\gamma} = p_{\mathrm{T}}^{\text{Jet}}/p_{\mathrm{T}}^{\gamma}$, and the fraction of photons with an associated jet, $R_{\mathrm{J}\gamma}$, are studied in bins of leading photon $ p_{\mathrm{T}}$ and PbPb collision centrality. For all $ p_{\mathrm{T}}^{\gamma} $ bins, $< x_{\mathrm{J}\gamma} >$ and $R_{\mathrm{J}\gamma}$ in the 0-30% central PbPb collisions are found to be lower than corresponding pp reference values, indicating that a larger fraction of jets lose energy and fall below 30 GeV/$c$ in the PbPb system. By comparing the yields of jets in PbPb and pp collisions triggered by photons above 80 GeV/$c$, a shift of the jet spectra toward the lower $ p_{\mathrm{T}}^{\text{Jet}} $ direction is observed. |
