Medium modifications of jet shapes in Pb plus Pb collisions at root S-NN=2.76 TeV within a multiphase transport model

Within a multiphase transport model, medium modifications of differential jet shapes are investigated in Pb + Pb collisions at root S-NN = 2.76 TeV. The differential jet shapes are significantly modified by the strong interactions between jets and a partonic medium in Pb + Pb collisions relative to that in p + p collisions. The modifications are slightly weakened by the hadronization of coalescence, but strengthened by resonance decays in hadronic rescatterings. Subleading jets display larger medium modifications than leading jets, especially in central Pb + Pb collisions with large dijet asymmetries. These behaviors of medium modifications of differential jet shapes reflect a dynamical evolution of redistribution of jet energy inside a quenched jet cone in high-energy heavy-ion collisions.
