Observation of a centrality-dependent dijet asymmetry in lead-lead collisions at √s NN =2.76 Tev with the ATLAS detector at the LHC
By using the ATLAS detector, observations have been made of a centrality-dependent dijet asymmetry in the collisions of lead ions at the Large Hadron Collider. In a sample of lead-lead events with a per-nucleon center of mass energy of 2.76 TeV, selected with a minimum bias trigger, jets are reconst...
