Abstract
The modification of jet shapes in Pb-Pb collisions, relative to those in collisions, is studied for jets associated with an isolated photon. The data were collected with the CMS detector at the LHC at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV. Jet shapes are constructed from charged particles with track transverse momenta () above in annuli around the axes of jets with associated with an isolated photon with . The jet shape distributions are consistent between peripheral Pb-Pb and collisions, but are modified for more central Pb-Pb collisions. In these central Pb-Pb events, a larger fraction of the jet momentum is observed at larger distances from the jet axis compared to , reflecting the interaction between the partonic medium created in heavy ion collisions and the traversing partons.
