Motivation

● Heavy-ions:● Probe medium created using jets:

– Modification of medium by the jet.– Modification of jet by the medium.– At prior experiments interesting effects seen:

● Energy loss and away-side suppression● Near-side ridge● Conical emission

● pp Collsions:● Reference for heavy-ion data● Study jet properties.
