Abstract

The main results on electroweak probes, jets, high-pT hadrons, heavy-flavour and quarkonia production from the first two years of heavy-ion operation at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are briefly reviewed. Data measured at center-of-mass energies sqrt(s_NN) = 2.76 TeV in lead-lead (Pb-Pb) collisions are compared to proton-proton (p-p) measurements in order to extract information on the properties of hot and dense strongly-interacting matter.
