Two- and three-particle jet-like correlations in the ALICE experiment at the LHC

The Large Hadron Collider has collided protons at energies of √s=0.9 and 7 TeV and lead ions at √(sNN)=2.76 TeV. Jet-like correlations can be used to study these collisions. In pp collisions, these correlations provide information about the fragmentation of a high momentum parton into a jet of hadrons. The correlations in pp collisions also provide a baseline for heavy-ion collisions. A medium is formed in central heavy-ion collisions which is theoretically expected to be a deconfined start of quarks and gluons, referred to as the Quark-Gluon Plasma. Jets can be used to probe this medium. The study of the interaction of the jet and the medium in jet-like correlations can provide information on how energy is deposited into the medium by the jet and how the jet and medium modify each other. We present the status of a 2- and 3-particle jet-like correlation analysis of charged particles measured in the ALICE Time Projection Chamber and Inner Tracking System in pp and Pb+Pb collisions.
