Heavy-ion Physics with Cms

This article presents a brief overview of the CMS experiment capabilities to study the hot and dense matter created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The CERN Large Hadron Collider will provide collisions of Pb nuclei at 5.5 TeV per nucleon. The CMS heavy ion group has developed a plethora of physics analyses addressing many important aspects of heavy-ion physics in preparation for a compet...

Jet Physics in CMS Heavy Ion Programme

In this note, we report on the study of jet+ jet, γ + jet and Z(→ μμ) + jet production in heavy ion collisions. In particular, we review the capability of the CMS detector to observe the energy losses of quarkand gluon-initiated jets in a dense QCD matter. 1 Jet quenching: jet + jet, γ + jet and Z + jet production Hard jet production is considered to be an efficient probe for formation of super...

Search for heavy resonances at CMS

The search for new physics at the TeV scale is one of the major aspects of the CMS experimental program. This includes a myriad of theoretical models involving resonances that can decay to massive bosons, leptons or jets. An overview of such analyses is presented in this paper as well as the novel dedicated techniques related to the specificity of the event topologies. All analyses presented he...

Heavy Ion Physics with CMS at LHC

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) plans to operate as a heavy ion collider for one month each year starting in 2007. LHC will be capable of accelerating a variety of ions up to beam energies of 7 TeV/charge. The design, peak and three-hour-fill-averaged luminosities are presented in Table 1 along with the maximum center of mass energy[1]. The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) [2] experiment is a genera...
