First Results from Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC    [PDF]

Berndt Muller, Jurgen Schukraft, Bolek Wyslouch

At the end of 2010, the CERN Large Hadron Collider started operation with
heavy ion beams, colliding lead nuclei at a centre-of-mass energy of 2.76
TeV/nucleon and opening a new era in ultra-relativistic heavy ion physics at
energies exceeding previous accelerators by more than an order of magnitude.
This review summarizes the results from the first year of heavy ion physics at
LHC obtained by the three experiments participating in the heavy ion program,
ALICE, ATLAS, and CMS.
