The transverse momentum (p T ) spectrum and nuclear modification factor (R AA ) of reconstructed jets in 0–10% and 10–30% central Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV were measured. Jets were reconstructed using the anti-k T jet algorithm with a resolution parameter of R = 0.2 from charged and neutral particles, utilizing the ALICE tracking detectors and Electromagnetic Calorimeter (EMCal). The jet p T spectra are reported in the pseudorapidity interval of | η jet | <0.5 for 40 <p T, jet <120 GeV / c in 0–10% and for 30 <p T , jet <100 GeV / c in 10–30% collisions. Reconstructed jets were required to contain a leading charged particle with p T > 5 GeV / c to suppress jets constructed from the combinatorial background in Pb–Pb collisions. The leading charged particle requirement applied to jet spectra both in pp and Pb–Pb collisions had a negligible effect on the R AA. The nuclear modification factor R AA was found to be 0.28 ± 0.04 in 0–10% and 0.35 ± 0.04 in 10–30% collisions, independent of p T, jet wit
