dc.descriptionThe LHC will deliver unexplored energy regimes for proton-proton and heavy-ion collisions. As shown by the RHIC experiments, particle identification over a large momentum range is essential to disentangle physics processes, especially in the intermediate p$_T$ (1 $<p_{T}<5$ GeV/c) region. The novel design of the High-Momentum Particle Identification Detector (HMPID), based on large surface CsI photocathodes, is able to identify $π^{\pm}$, $K^{\pm}$, $p$ and $\bar{p}$ in the momentum region where bulk medium properties and hard scatterings interplay. Furthermore, measurement of resonance particles such as the $ϕ\to K^+K^-$ could provide information on the system evolution. The HMPID layout and segmentation are optimized to study particle correlations at high momenta describing the early phase and the dynamical evolution of the collision. At LHC, the increased hard cross section will significantly be enhanced compared to RHIC. Jet reconstruction via Deterministic Annealing can address jet quenching and detailed measurements of jet properties. In this paper, we present these selected topics from the possible HMPID contributions to the physics goals of LHC.
