Jet study in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions with the ALICE detectors at the LHC

Includes bibliographical references. === This thesis presents first results on jet reconstruction in simulated Pb+Pb collisions using the ALICE detectors and a UAl-based cone jet finding algorithm which has been modified and optimised to reconstruct high-PT jets on an event-by-event basis. Optimisat...
