Computational Challenges in the Measurement of Heavy-ion Collision Event Characteristics with the Atlas Experiment at the Lhc
Heavy-ion collisions at extreme energies are expected to recreate conditions present in the early universe, producing a state of matter called the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP). This state is characterized by very low viscosity resembling the properties of a perfect fluid. In such a medium, density fluctuations can easily propagate. In experimental practice, the size of these fluctuations is estimat...
متن کاملThe Heavy Ion Physics Program with ATLAS at the LHC
The first Pb+Pb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at √ sNN = 5.52 TeV are imminent. Heavy ion collisions at the LHC provide an extended energy lever arm to the existing measurements made at RHIC and SPS, especially in hard (large-Q) processes. In this contribution an overview of the ATLAS detector is given and the current physics focus of Heavy Ion Working Group is discussed.
متن کاملHeavy Ion Physics with the ATLAS Detector at the LHC
The heavy-ion program at the LHC will be pursued by three experiments including ATLAS, a multipurpose detector to study p+p collisions. A report on the potential of the ATLAS detector to uncover new physics in Pb+Pb collisions at energies thirty times larger than energy available at RHIC is presented. Key aspects of the heavy-ion program of the ATLAS experiment, with the emphasis on extending m...
متن کاملHeavy Ion Physics at the LHC with the ATLAS Detector
The ATLAS detector at CERN will provide a high-resolution longitudinallysegmented calorimeter and precision tracking for the upcoming study of heavy ion collisions at the LHC ( √ sNN = 5520 GeV). The calorimeter covers |η| < 5 with both electromagnetic and hadronic sections, while the inner detector spectrometer covers |η| < 2.5. ATLAS will study a full range of observables necessary to charact...
متن کاملHeavy Ion Physics with the Alice Experiment at Lhc
Besides its proton-proton (pp) physics program, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, which is going to start operating in early 2008, will deliver lead-lead (PbPb) collisions at a centre-of-mass energy √ sNN = 5.5 TeV, opening the door to unexplored regimes in heavy-ion particle physics from several points of view, such as the centre-of-mass energy, the energy density reached, the lifetime and th...
