Abstract
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN will collide protons at and lead ions at . The research program of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment includes a strong heavy-ion physics agenda, especially in the measurement of hard processes. The high centre-of-mass energies available at the LHC will allow high statistics studies of high-density QCD with hard probes: heavy quarks and quarkonia with an emphasis on the J/ψ and ϒ, high-pT jets, direct photons as well as Z0 bosons. In addition to the detailed studies of hard probes, CMS will measure charged particle multiplicity and energy flow with respect to the reaction plane on an event-by-event basis. Studies of the CMS capabilities and physics reach for different high-density QCD observables, using the full detector simulation and reconstruction, are presented.
