HEAVY ION PHYSICS PROGRAM
Detect and characterize Quark Gluon Plasma
- Simultaneous measurement of various signatures
- Measurement of vector meson production cross sections
- Measure differential suppression of J/? and ? ? production to probe deconfinement using Upsilon as a control
- Use high pT single muons to tag heavy (b, c) quark decay
- Measurement of Drell-Yan continuum
- Detect muon in process D?D ? ? + e + X
