Oral

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will collide lead nuclei in November 2010. Three experiments will collect data during the heavy-ion run: ALICE, which is the dedicated heavy-ion experiment, ATLAS, and CMS. After the successful commissioning and proton-proton data taking phases, these experiments will face the new challenge posed by the extreme conditions of Pb-Pb collisions, with envisaged...
