Results from Heavy Ion Collisions at the LHC

DESY Auditorium, 16.00 h
In November 2010 the Large Hadron Collider at CERN started to collide heavy ion beams. The collisions of lead ions occurred at the center of mass of 2.76 TeV/nucleon, about 14 times higher than at previous accelerators. The hot and dense QCD matter created in these collisions is being studied by the state of the art detectors. I will present several of the striking first results obtained by the LHC experimental collaborations. In particular, I will discuss the global properties of the produced matter and I will describe in more detail the observation of strong quenching of jets.
