  The main results on electroweak probes, jets, high-pT hadrons, heavy-flavour
and quarkonia production from the first two years of heavy-ion operation at the
Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are briefly reviewed. Data measured at
center-of-mass energies sqrt(s_NN) = 2.76 TeV in lead-lead (Pb-Pb) collisions
are compared to proton-proton (p-p) measurements in order to extract
information on the properties of hot and dense strongly-interacting matter.
