• Pb+Pb program:• What are the properties of the quark
gluon plasma?• Density, temperature, pressure, etc.
• p+p Program: • Baseline for interpreting all Pb+Pb
results• Comprehensive study of QCD in p+p

Outlook for 2011• Several papers in preparation– Pb+Pb collisions:• Multiplicity vs centrality
(submitted to PRL 08.Dec)• High pT particle correlations• Event structure analysis• Mean pT• Pion interferometry (HBT)
• Plus many more analyses in progress
– p+p collisions:• J/Psi production at 7 TeV• Charm hadron production at
7 TeV• Neutral pion and eta spectra• Identified particle spectra at
7 TeV• Strangeness at 7 TeV• Resonances at 7 TeV
