Predictions for the LHC: an Overview

Abstract

I present an overview of predictions for the heavy ion program at the Large Hadron Collider. It is mainly based on the material presented during the workshop 'Heavy Ion Collisions at the LHC - Last Call for Predictions', held in the frame of the CERN Theory Institute from May 14th to June 10th 2007. Predictions on both bulk properties and hard probes are reviewed.
