Heavy Ion Results from the LHC
Bolek Wyslouch (MIT)
Seminar Room 3, 15:00h
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.
