Beschreibung
The sPHENIX detector at RHIC is designed for precision measurements of high-pT jets, providing strong constraints on the properties of the quark–gluon plasma. Having completed its data taking, sPHENIX has recorded full datasets of Au+Au and O+O collisions, along with the reference dataset of p+p collisions, at a center-of-mass energy of 200 GeV. This talk presents measurements of the nuclear modification factor R_AA and the central-to-peripheral ratio R_CP for inclusive jets in O+O collisions as a function of jet transverse momentum in several centrality intervals. The results are compared with theoretical calculations both with and without parton energy loss mechanisms. These measurements provide an important point in mapping the system-size dependence of jet quenching.
