The strong modification of high transverse momentum particle production in heavy ion collisions ('jet quenching') was one of the major discoveries at RHIC and is currently studied in much greater detail at the LHC. While jet quenching gives access to a variety of phenomena in QCD, the wider kinematic reach of the LHC and the possibility to reconstruct jets in heavy ion collisions challenge...

In-medium modification of jet fragmentation functions in heavy ion collisions is thought to be a direct manifest of the parton energy loss in the medium. Despite the large energy loss signaled by the large imbalance of jet transverse energies in di-jet events[1] and by the suppression of large transverse momentum hadrons [2], it has been found that jet fragmentation functions in Pb-Pb...

We present the measurements of strange and multi-strange hadrons in high energy pp and Pb-Pb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The data for these measurements were collected by the ALICE detector in 2010 and 2011. By comparing strangeness data where the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) is not expected to be produced (pp collisions) with data where the energy-density of the...

We present results of the CMS experiment from PbPb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 2.76$ TeV, probing quark and gluon matter at unprecedented values of energy density. The capabilities of the CMS apparatus allows us to investigate various hard probes, using the calorimetry, muon and tracking systems covering a large range in pseudorapidity, complemented by a flexible two-level trigger system....

A Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE) is the dedicated detector setup to study the high density de-confined state of strongly interacting matter, known as Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), which is created in heavy ion collisions at the LHC at CERN. Charm or beauty quarks are among the most interesting and powerful probes to investigate the properties of the QGP, because they are produced on a very...
