  2. Historical Remark 2009 : A centennial Anniversary of Ion-Ion Collisions 1909 Rutherford gold foil experiment 2009 LHC experiments • Beam: 5 MeVa + fixed Au (√sNN~1 GeV) ⇒ 5.5 TeV (X5,000) • # of collaborators: 3 (+Geiger+Marsden) ⇒ ~3,500 (X1,000) • Constructioncost: (X∞) Heavy-Ion Meeting

  3. Outline • Motivation • Importance & challenges • CMS Detector • Acceptance • High-level trigger • Plan for the first Pb+Pb run • Heavy-Ion Physics Capability of CMS • Soft probes • Hard probes • Ultra-peripheral collisions • Summary Heavy-Ion Meeting

  4. Many Facets of QCD • Quantum Field Theory with rich dynamical content • asymptotic freedom, confinement, spontaneous broken chiral symmetry & its restoration at high density, non-trivial vacuum, etc. • Standard Model of the collective behavior becomes important • phase transition, thermalization, flow, etc. • Very diverse many-body phenomenology at various limits: Heavy-Ion Meeting

  5. Origin of Visible Mass • QCD (i.e. c-sym. breaking), not Higgs (i.e. EW-sym. breaking), is truly responsible for the “origin of the visible(baryonic) mass” • About 98% of the (light quark) mass generated dynamically (gluons) in the QCD confining potential B. Müller, arXiv:nucl_th/0404015 • Connection between QCD & HI • Role of CMS for the detailed investigation of QCD Heavy-Ion Meeting

  6. Motivation • Characterizing the early stage by hard probes • Color charge density, Transport coefficient, QCD εc & Tc , Tomography, … • High pT spectra, Jets, g(or g*, Z0)-jet correlations, Quarkonia, … • Characterizing the later stage by soft probes • Hydrodynamics, QCD EoS, Medium viscosity, ... • dNch/dη, Low pT spectra, Elliptic flow, Thermal photons, … Heavy-Ion Meeting

  7. Initial Evidence at RHIC Strongly coupled matter is hot & dense! Flow & NQ scaling: quark recombination & low h/s Jet quenching: strong interaction of high-pT hadrons with dense medium J/y suppression: SPS≈RHIC, larger at forward (CGC?) Jets are modified in medium. Heavy-Ion Meeting

  8. What is New at LHC? • LHC energies arefar exceeding previous heavy-ion accelerators • A hotter, denser, and longer lived partonicmatter ~ ~ Heavy-Ion Meeting

  9. LHC RHIC SPS Production Rate at LHC • Large rates of various hard probes over a larger kinematic range • Plenty of heavy quarks (b & c) • Weakly interacting probes are available (W± & Z0) d3s/dyd2pT [mb GeV-2] pT [GeV] Heavy-Ion Meeting

  13. HCAL (Barrel+Endcap+Forward) CMS Acceptance Large Range of Hermetic Coverage • Extended kinematic reach • x~(1/40) of RHIC • <10-4 measurable Heavy-Ion Meeting

  14. Plan for the First Pb+Pb Coll. Note from the Chamonixmeeting: Early Pb Beam will have lower beam energy ⇒ 10 TeV in pp corresponds to 4 TeV in Pb+Pb. →2 • Low collision rate in Year-1 allows us to write all min. bias events to mass storage. • Fully functional high-level trigger (HLT) is needed at nominal luminosity. Heavy-Ion Meeting

  15. CMS High-Level Trigger Level 1 (MuonChambers+Calorimeters) Pb+Pbat 5.5 TeV Nominal luminosity ET reach x2 jets • High-Level Triggers (high ET-jet, γ, e, μ) • Large computing farm • (Start up with 7.2k CPU cores) • Run “offline algorithm” on every Pb+Pb events • Significantly enhanced statistics • for hard processes (see the right figure) ¡ Heavy-Ion Meeting
