Capabilities of the CMS detector for studies of hard probes in heavy ion collisions at the LHC
arXiv:0810.2081
Abstract
The capabilities of the CMS experiment to study properties of hot and dense QCD-matter created in heavy ion collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider with the perturbative processes (so-called "hard probes") are presented. Detailed studies from complete simulations of the CMS detectors in Pb+Pb collisions at TeV per nucleon pair are presented in view of two hard probes: quarkonium and -jet production.
