Thesis: Ph. D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Physics, 2017. / Cataloged from PDF version of thesis. / Includes bibliographical references (pages 135-138). / Using the CMS detector at the LHC, a quantitative study of jet energy loss and angular deflection inside the high energy-density medium formed in PbPb collisions is made. Photons are used to measure the initial state of a color-charged probe while jet reconstruction is used to measure the final state. Significant loss of energy to the medium as a function of initial parton momentum is observed, while no significant angular deflection is found. / by Richard Alexander Barbieri. / Ph. D.
