Abstract

The production of jets in proton+proton (p + p) and heavy ion collisions (HIC) is of great interest to study perturbative quantum chromodynamics (pQCD) in vacuum and in medium. In particular, jets yield information on the way partons radiate inside them (and how the radiation is modified in the medium) and then fragment into hadrons. For clear understanding of the in-medium modifications, it is first mandatory to have a good control of the measurements in p + p collisions in the ALICE experiment. After a discussion on the expected jet reconstruction performances, the results of a MC-based analysis on intrajet radiations are shown. An attempt to estimate the background contamination from the collisions is presented.
