Study of jet quenching with isolated-photon+jet correlations in PbPb and pp collisions at √s_(NN) = 5.02 TeV

Abstract

Measurements of azimuthal angle and transverse momentum (p_T) correlations of isolated photons and associated jets are reported for pp and PbPb collisions at √s_(NN) = 5.02 TeV. The data were recorded with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. For events containing a leading isolated photon with p^γ_T> 40 GeV/c and an associated jet with p^(jet)_T> 30 GeV/c, the photon+jet azimuthal correlation and p_T imbalance in PbPb collisions are studied as functions of collision centrality and p^γ_T. The results are compared to pp reference data collected at the same collision energy and to predictions from several theoretical models for parton energy loss. No evidence of broadening of the photon+jet azimuthal correlations is observed, while the ratio p^(jet)_T/p^γ_T decreases significantly for PbPb data relative to the pp reference. All models considered agree within uncertainties with the data. The number of associated jets per photon with p^γ_T> 80 GeV/c is observed to be shifted towards lower p^(jet)_T values in central PbPb collisions compared to pp collisions.
