Probing the Quark-gluon Plasma with Jets and Heavy-flavor Particles

Ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions allow the study of nuclear matter at extreme temperatures and energy densities, where Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) is expected to be created. Jets, the sprays of hadrons resulting from the fragmentation of high-energy partons, and the heavy-flavor hadrons are one of the most powerful probes for QGP transport properties, since they are mainly originated in initial hard parton scatterings and thus experience from full evolution of the system. The measurement of their production in heavy ion collisions and the comparison with what expected from pp or p-Pb collisions give insight into the parton in-medium energy loss, their interactions by elastic and radiative processes, and in particular for heavy-flavor particle, its dependence on quark mass and/or color charge. In this talk, recent results from jets and heavy-flavor particles measurements given at the LHC will be presented.
