Full jet reconstruction in heavy-ion collisions is a promising tool for the quantitative study of properties of the dense medium produced at RHIC. Measurements of d+Au collisions are important to disentangle initial state nuclear effects from medium-induced $k_\mathrm{T}$ broadening and jet quenching. Study of jet production and properties in d+Au in combination with similar studies in p+p is...

The ALICE experiment is designed to measure the properties of strongly interacting matter created in heavy-ion collisions at LHC. The apparatus has several features, such as low p$_T$ acceptance and powerful tracking over a broad momentum range, that make ALICE also an important contributor to the first proton-proton physics. In this respect the ALICE physics program aims both at setting the...

The heavy-ion program at LHC will be pursued by three experiments including ATLAS, a multipurpose detector to study p+p collisions. A report on the potential of the ATLAS detector to uncover new physics in Pb+Pb collisions at energies thirty times larger than energy available at RHIC will be presented. Key aspects of the heavy-ion program of the ATLAS experiment, implied by measurements at...

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN will collide protons at $\sqrt{S}=14$ TeV and lead ions at $\sqrt{S_{NN}}=5.5$ TeV. The physics program of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) includes the study of heavy ion collisions. The high energies available at the LHC will allow high statistics studies of the dense partonic system with hard probes: heavy quarks and quarkonia with an emphasis on the $b$ and...

We investigate direct photons and hadrons production at the energies of RHIC and LHC, at different rapidities employing various color-dipole models. The direct photon cross-section peaks at very forward rapidities due to the abelian dynamics of photon radiation. This opens new opportunities for measurement of direct photons at forward rapidities, where the background from radiative hadronic...
