Heavy-ion physics with the ATLAS detector
Description
The CERN LHC collider will operate with lead ions at #sqrt#s of 5.5 TeV/nucleon. The ATLAS detector, designed to study high-pT physics in the pp mode of the LHC, has the potential to study ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions in a full range of observables characterized extremely dense matter and the formation of a quark-gluon plasma. The ATLAS physics program includes global event measurements (particle multiplicities, transverse momentum), suppression of heavy-quarkonia production, jet quenching, and a study of ultraperipheral collisions.
