  Theoretical and experimental advances in understanding light jet production
and modification in Pb+Pb reactions at a center-of-mass energy 2.76 TeV have
been a highlight of the LHC heavy ion program. At the same time, the detailed
mechanisms of heavy quark energy loss in dense QCD matter are not yet fully
understood. With this motivation, we present theoretical predictions for the
nuclear-induced attenuation of the differential cross sections for inclusive
b-jet production in heavy ion collisions at the LHC for comparison to upcoming
data. We find that for transverse momenta pT > 75 GeV both hadronization and
mass effects are negligible and this attenuation is comparable to the one
observed for light jets. We discuss how the detailed b-jet quenching patterns
can be used to gain new insight into the in-medium heavy flavor dynamics.
