Abstract
Jet charge, defined as the momentum-weighted sum of the electric charges of particles inside a jet is sensitive to the electric charge of the initiating parton and can be used to study the color charge dependence of the parton energy loss in the QGP. In this paper, the first measurements of jet charge in heavy-ion collisions are presented using lead-lead (PbPb) collision data and compared to results from proton-proton (pp) data at the same collision energy. The measurements are unfolded for detector and background effects and are studied differentially in pT and additionally as a function of collision centrality in PbPb collisions. We also present a template fitting technique for estimating the fractions of quark- and gluon-initiated jets in pp and PbPb collisions based on Monte Carlo templates. This analysis uses pp and PbPb collision data collected by the CMS experiment at sNN=5.02TeV.
