Abstract
The next great energy frontier in relativistic heavy-ion collisions is quickly approaching with the completion of the large hadron collider and the ATLAS experiment is poised to make important contributions in understanding QCD matter in extreme conditions. While designed for high-pT measurements in high-energy p+p collisions, the detector is well suited to study many aspects of heavy-ion collisions from bulk phenomena to high-pT and heavy-flavor physics. With its large and finely segmented electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters, the ATLAS detector excels in measurements of photons and jets, observables of great interest at the LHC. In this paper, we highlight the performance of the ATLAS detector for Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC with special emphasis on a key feature of the ATLAS physics program: jet and direct photon measurements.
