AB  - The STAR experiment at RHIC reports measurements of the semi-inclusive yield of charged-particle jets recoiling from high transverse momentum charged-hadron triggers in centrality-selected Ru+Ru and Zr+Zr collisions at the nucleon–nucleon center-of-mass energy of 200 GeV. The effects of jet quenching, arising from the interaction of jets with the quark–gluon plasma, are quantified by comparing trigger-normalized recoil yields in central and peripheral collisions. Suppression of the recoil yield in central collisions is observed, indicating medium-induced partonic energy loss due to quenching. The ratio of recoil jet yields for small and large resolution parameter is found to be suppressed in central relative to peripheral collisions, characteristic of medium-induced intra-jet broadening. The results are compared to similar measurements in smaller and larger collision systems, providing unique insight into the system-size dependence of jet quenching.
