The main goal of the CMS heavy ion program is the search of a new
state of the matter - the quark-gluon plasma. There is a prediction
that formation of the quark-gluon plasma can be detected via strong
suppression of the ' and

resonance production in comparison with the
production, and by the suppression
of the hard QCD jet production. A detailed study has demonstrated that
the signal from the decay will be observed at CMS despite the
extremely high occupancy of the tracker system.
The efficiency of reconstruction of the muon pair is estimated at
decay will be observed at CMS despite the extremely high
occupancy of the tracker system. The efficiency of reconstruction
of the muon pair is estimated at >=60% for the worst case of
the central Pb-Pb interactions.
The hard jets with Et >
100 GeV can also be reconstructed with an algorithm adjusted for the
heavy ion physics.
