摘要
γ＋jet events provide a tomographic measurement of the medium formed in heavy ion collisions at LHC energies.Tagging events with a well identified high p T direct photon and measuring the correlation distribution of hadrons emitted oppositely to the photon in ALICE,allows us to determine,with a good approximation,both the jet fragmentation function and the back-to-back azimuthal alignment of the direct photon and the jet.Comparing these two observables measured in pp collisions with the ones measured in AA collisions will reveal the modifications of the jet structure induced by the medium formed in AA collisions and consequently will infer the medium properties.
