Abstract
Since the beginning of 2010 the LHC provides p+p collisions at the highest center of mass energies to date, allowing to study high $\pT$ particle production and jet properties in a new energy regime. For a clear interpretation and the quantification of the medium influence in heavy-ion collisions on high $\pT$ observables a detailed understanding of these elementary reactions is essential. We present first results on the observation of jet-like properties with the ALICE experiment and discuss the performance of jet reconstruction in the first year of data taking.
