Abstract
A color-deconfined state of strongly interacting matter is expected to be formed in high-energy collisions of heavy nuclei. Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) calculations predicts that, under the conditions of high-energy density and temperature reached in these collisions, a phase transition to a Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) occurs. The main aim of the heavy-ion experimental programme at the LHC collider is to characterize and study the medium formed in such collisions. In this paper several observables and measurements performed by the LHC experiments studying heavy-ion collisions will be addressed, compared to results at lower energy and discussed.
