The jet fragmentation function of inclusive jets with transverse momentum p[subscript T] above 100GeV/c in PbPb collisions has been measured using reconstructed charged particles with p[subscript T] above 1 GeV/c in a cone of radius 0.3 around the jet axis. A data sample of PbPb collisions collected in 2011 at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of √s[subscript NN] = 2.76TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 150 μb[superscript −1] is used. The results for PbPb collisions as a function of collision centrality and jet transverse momentum are compared to reference distributions based on pp data collected at the same center-of-mass energy in 2013, with an integrated luminosity of 5.3 pb[superscript −1]. A centrality-dependent modification of the fragmentation function is found. For the most central collisions, a significant enhancement is observed in the PbPb/pp fragmentation function ratio for charged particles with p[subscript T] less than 3 GeV/c. This enhancement is observed for all jet p[subscript T] bins studied.
