Heavy Ion Physics with ATLAS

An overview of the ATLAS results from Pb+Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV will be presented. The results for hard probes include both single jet and di-jet measure- ments, W and Z bosons, photons, and high pT charged tracks. Taken together these re- sults provide a compelling picture of the interaction of hard particles in the dense QCD medium. Additionally, ATLAS has measured properties of the bulk particle production including charged particle multiplicity and extensive measurements of the azimuthal par- ticle distributions and correlations. Results shown will be from the ∼ 10 inverse μb−1 of minimum bias recorded in the 2010 LHC heavy ion run, as well as from ∼ 0.15 nb−1 sampled in the 2011 LHC heavy ion run.
