Description
In this lecture I will discuss some of the basic considerations in the study of "hard probes" in nuclear collisions from an experimentalists point of view. The lecture will cover four aspects: What are hard probes and why are we interested in them? How do we detect these probes in experiment? What have we learned about QGP and its effects on hard probes? What are the prospects for QGP microscopy using hard probes?
