Search and study of Quark Gluon Plasma at the CERN-LHC
arXiv:0904.3428 · doi:10.1007/978-81-8489-295-6_9
Abstract
The major aim of nucleus-nucleus collisions at the LHC is to study the physics of strongly interacting matter and the quark gluon plasma (QGP), formed in extreme conditions of temperature and energy density. We give a brief overview of the experimental program and discuss the signatures and observables for a detailed study of QGP matter.
