This thesis presents the first measurements of jets in relativistic
heavy ion collisions as reported by the ATLAS Collaboration. These
include the first direct observation of jet quenching through the
observation of a centrality-dependent dijet asymmetry. Also, a
series of jet suppression measurements are presented, which provide
quantitative constraints on theoretical models of jet quenching.
These results follow a detailed introduction to heavy ion physics
with emphasis on the phenomenon of jet quenching and a
comprehensive description of the ATLAS detector and its
capabilities with regard to performing these measurements.
