Abstract: (arXiv)
The capabilities of the CMS experiment to study properties of hot and dense QCD-matter created in heavy ion collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider with the perturbative processes (so-called "hard probes") are presented. Detailed studies from complete simulations of the CMS detectors in Pb+Pb collisions at s=5.5\sqrt{s}=5.5 TeV per nucleon pair are presented in view of two hard probes: quarkonium and γ\gamma-jet production.
