BIANCHI, ]Nicola. Jet quenching at alice. Nucleus [online]. 2007, n.41, pp. 26-29. ISSN 0864-084X.

RHIC results on leading hadron suppression indicate that jets produced in hard processes are strongly quenched by the dense medium created in heavy ion collisions. Several questions on the medium modification of the jet structure have not been yet well addressed. These topics will be better studied at LHC by ALICE at higher pt and with full jet reconstruction. The performances of ALICE on high pt particles and jets can be significantly improved by completing the present set-up with a large electromagnetic calorimeter.

Keywords : attenuation; energy levels; gev range 10-100; ion collisions; particle production; ALICE; gluons; jet model; quenching.
