Isolated photon-jet correlations in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\text{NN}}}=5.02$ TeV in ALICE

Jets correlated with isolated photons are a promising channel to study jet quenching in heavy-ion collisions, as photons do not interact strongly and therefore constrain the $Q^2$ of the initial hard scattering. We present the isolated photon-jet correlations measured in Pb–Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\text{NN}}}$ = 5.02 TeV by the ALICE collaboration. We study correlations of isolated photons above 20 GeV/$c$ with charged-particle jets above 10 GeV/$c$, reconstructed with the anti-$k_{\text{T}}$ algorithm. The correlations probe the lowest jet $p_{\text{T}}$ range ever measured at LHC energies, and larger modifications due to the QGP are expected in the lower $p_{\text{T}}$ regime.
