27. Pb-Pb→γ+jet events can be identified by selecting a prompt photon and searching for the leading particle in the opposite direction inside the ALICE central tracking system. As photons emerge almost unaltered from dense medium, they provide a measurement of the original energy of the parton emitted in the opposite direction. G. Conesa, H. Delagrange, J. Diaz, Y.V.
