Jet quenching in heavy ion collisions at LHC
Abstract
We discuss the potential information about highly excited QCD-matter provided by medium-induced partonic energy loss, known as ``jet quenching''. In particular, with its large acceptance hadronic and electromagnetic calorimetry, the Compact Muon Solenoid detector at LHC collider is a promising device to study these effects. We present physics simulations of observables such as the jet distribution with impact parameter, the azimuthal anisotropy of jet quenching, and the effects of b-quark energy loss on the high-mass dimuon continuum and secondary charmonium production.
