  Jets represent an important tool to explore the properties of the hot and
dense nuclear matter created in heavy-ion collisions. However, full jet
reconstruction in such events is a challenging task due to extremely large and
fluctuating background, which generates a large population of combinatorial
jets that overwhelm the true hard jet population. In order to carry out
accurate, data-driven jet measurements over a broad kinematic range in such
conditions of small signal to background, we use several novel approaches in
order to measure inclusive charged jet distributions and semi-inclusive charged
jet distributions recoiling from a high pT hadron trigger in central Au+Au
collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV.
