A consortium of French, Italian and US institutions is constructing a large electromagnetic calorimeter (EMCal ), which will complete the ALICE detector capabilities for measuring the entire range of physics observables in heavy ion interactions. Jet quenching, the interaction of energetic partons with dense matter, has been shown at RHIC to provide a broad range of unique and sensitive probes of the hot QCD medium. Jet quenching will play an equally important role in the LHC heavy ion physics program. The EMCal enables ALICE to explore the physics of jet quenching in detail, over the large kinematic range provided in heavy by the LHC.
