Measurement of identified charged hadrons in charged jets from proton-lead collisions with ALICE at the LHC

Description

The spectra of identified hadrons in jets offer possibilities to investigate the fragmentation of partons in detail. By comparing the results for proton-proton (pp) and proton-lead (p-Pb) we can test hypotheses about cold nuclear matter effects. The ALICE experiment at the LHC has excellent particle identification capabilities for tracks with transverse momentum ranging from 150 MeV/c to above 20 GeV/c. We report on the measurement of the charged hadron composition in charged jets from p-Pb collisions at √(sNN) = 5.02 TeV. The jets are reconstructed from charged tracks using the anti-kT algorithm. Charged hadrons are identified via their specific energy loss dE/dx in the ALICE TPC. We show the jet constituent spectra for different event multiplicities as functions of pchargedT and z = ptrack, chargedT/pjet, chargedT and compare the results to those of pp collisions.
