Signatures of AdS/CFT using the CMS experiment at the LHC

Measurements of jet suppression via heavy ion collisions at the RHIC suggest that the produced, high temperature nuclear matter is colour opaque. Furthermore, observation of large collective motions, known as elliptic flow, in this strongly interacting nuclear matter led to the suggestion that ideal hydrodynamic behavior was observed. We will have a look at what could be measured with the CMS experiment, and how the higher center-of-mass energy that will be available at the LHC will permit access to new observables and laboratory tests of AdS/CFT versus pQCD.
