B-jet interaction with the quark gluon plasma in Pb+Pb collisions with the ATLAS detector

A study on the effects of the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) on b-jets formed in Pb+Pb collisions, compared with light (u, d, s) jets. The analysis was performed using data samples from Run 2 of the LHC recorded by the ATLAS detector, in 2018. The ATLAS detector and the theoretical predictions are briefly discussed. The strategies adopted to suppress background events are presented. The two observables studied were Di-Jet Asymmetry and RCP. We show that the results suggest that b-jets interact less with the QGP than light jets. The shortfalls of the methods used are discussed, as well as the potential for new results in Run 3 of the LHC.
