CERN Large Hadron Collider MCM - Toledo
QCD Studies at the LHC • Abundant production of variety of perturbatively produced high pT particles for detailed studies. • Expect a higher initial energy density state (and longer time in QGP phase?). • Initial state dominated by low-x components - possible new properties at mid-rapidity. • Extended kinematical reach for pp, pA, AA.
