Studying Hot and Dense QCD Matter
in the LHC era

<<Many in the RHIC community … are interested in the LHC heavy-ion program, but have several questions …
What can we learn at the LHC that is qualitatively new?
Are collisions at LHC similar to RHIC ones, just with a somewhat hotter/denser initial state? If not, why not?
… These questions are asked in good faith.>>
Glenn Young, 25 January e-mail inviting me for a plenary talk
• Large quantitative gains at LHC? YES - bigger - longer - denser
Testing QCD thermodynamics at RHIC and LHCSPS RHIC LHC
• Qualitatively the same system @ LHC “just hotter and denser”? No
QCD thermodynamics indicates characteristic qualitative differences in going from ~1.5 Tc to ~5 Tc.
Which ones? p.t.o.

Veff
MAX ∝T 4
• Quasi-particle models - generally rely on expanding Veff around A0=(0,0)
- this breaks Z(3) invariance
- the complex minima lie outside domain of validity of description
- no sound basis for T< 2-3 Tc

• Quasi-particle models vs. Lattice - significant deviations/uncertainties below

Indicative of qualitative novel physics above 2-3 Tc
QCD thermodynamics is qualitatively different above 2-3 Tc
• Beware: - Lattice shows - naïve quasi-particle models
- LHC reaches well beyond T=400 MeV, where QCD thermodynamics is different

Elliptic flowHydro curves atCERN SPS
• To establish hydrodynamic behavior, reliable theoretical baseline needed
- close to perfect liquid ?
- sensitivity to ? - sensitivity to dissipative properties such as ?
- is the prefect liquid more like ketchup or custard?

E ≥ ω ≥ kT ,qTmed ≥ ΛQCD
• Exact energy conservation indispensable
=> Monte Carlo needed
• branching of subleading partons not needed
• leading and subleading branchings must be treated on equal footing
=> Monte Carlo
• perturbatrive (vacuum) baseline analytical calculation or MC
• perturbatrive (vacuum) baseline => Monte Carlo needed

Summary
LHC heavy ion program is a giant leap into the unexplored regime of high temperature QCD.
We have all reasons to expect that this will allow for major advances on fundamental open questions in QCD.
