Description
We present a measurement of jet correlations in p-Pb collisions at \sqrt{s}=5.02 TeV.
The aim of the measurement is to test whether cold nuclear matter effects and
shadowing are present in p-Pb collisions.
Jets are measured using the central detectors using the anti-kT jet algorithm.
In the analysis the underlying event is subtracted event-by-event.
Corrections for the remaining underlying event contribution and the finite detector resolution are applied on an inclusive basis.
A measurement of the dijet k_{T} as function of the transverse momentum of the
jet, varying jet resolution parameter, and the event multiplicity will be
presented. This observable is a measure of the acoplanarity of dijet
production which is potentially modified.
In addition the correlation in pseudorapidity of jet pairs which is sensitive
to nuclear shadowing will be discussed.
