Abstract
Measurements of high-pT particle production in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC
have shown that medium-induced energy loss affects the partons produced in the
early stage of a heavy-ion col- lision. The increased initial production cross
section for partons at LHC energies makes fully reconstructed jets available in
a wide kinematic range, which allows for a more differential in- vestigation of
parton energy loss. Partonic energy loss allows us to access key observables of
the hot deconfined nuclear matter produced in heavy-ion collisions. The
inclusive cross-section of reconstructed jets using the ALICE tracking
detectors and electromagnetic calorimeter is pre- sented from data collected
during the 2.76 TeV pp runs. The procedures used to reconstruct jets and
extract them from a fluctuating background in Pb-Pb collisions are discussed.
