Measurements of the suppression and correlations of dijets is performed using 3 µb−1 of Xe+Xe data at
√sNN = 5.44 TeV collected with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Dijets with jets
reconstructed using the R = 0.4 anti-kt algorithm are measured differentially in jet pT over the range of 32 to
398 GeV and the centrality of the collisions. Significant dijet momentum imbalance is found in the most central
Xe+Xe collisions, which decreases in more peripheral collisions. Results from the measurement of per-pair
normalized and absolutely normalized dijet pT balance are compared with previous Pb+Pb measurements at
√sNN = 5.02 TeV. The differences between the dijet suppression in Xe+Xe and Pb+Pb are further quantified
by the ratio of pair nuclear-modification factors. The results are found to be consistent with those measured in
Pb+Pb data when compared in classes of the same event activity and when taking into account the difference
between the center-of-mass energies of the initial parton scattering process in Xe+Xe and Pb+Pb collisions.
These results should provide input for a better understanding of the role of energy density, system size, path
length, and fluctuations in the parton energy loss
