Description
Summary:The CMS collaboration has used a data set of 1 billion PbPb collisions at the LHC to study the behavior of strongly interacting matter at high temperature. In this Paper, we present selected recent highlights from this effort, with a particular emphasis on results related to the hydrodynamic expansion of the produced matter, the energy loss of partons and the dissociation of quarkonia.
