ALICE finds a new source of charmonium
The ALICE collaboration has studied the production of charmonium – bound states of charm and anti-charm quarks – in hadronic as well as in ultra-peripheral collisions of lead nuclei at √sNN = ...

Giulia Zanderighi reviews in 2016 the book 50 Years of Quarks.
Exploiting the data collected during November 2015 with Pb–Pb collisions at the record-breaking energy of √sNN = 5.02 TeV, ALICE measured for the first time the anisotropic flow of charged part...
The ALICE experiment is devoted to the study of strongly interacting matter, where temperatures are sufficiently high to overcome hadronic confinement, and the effective degrees of freedom are ...
The facility features two beamlines and two experimental halls.
Magic numbers appear in nuclei in which protons or neutrons completely fill a shell. The existence of magic numbers to explain certain regularities observed in nuclei was discovered in 1949 independen...
High-energy scattering of partons (quarks and gluons) produces collimated cones of particles called jets, the production rate of which can be calculated using perturbative QCD techniques. In heavy-ion...
The international Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research in Europe (FAIR) (CERN Courier May 2007 p23) is currently under construction at GSI, in Darmstadt, Germany. The FAIR accelerators will delive...
Beyond its rich programme in flavour physics based on proton–proton collisions, LHCb opened the door in 2015 to a new domain of physics exploration related to cosmic-ray and heavy-ion physics. D...
After the restart of the LHC physics programme in June 2015 with world-record proton– proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV, nuclear beams reappeared in the LHC tunnel in Novembe...
