Read article 'Surprising studies in multiplicity'
One of the key ways of looking into what happens when high-energy hadrons collide is to measure the relationship between the number, or multiplicity, of particles produced and their momentum transvers...

The ALICE collaboration had a significant presence at two recent major conferences: EPSHEP 2013 and SQM2013
Read article 'ISOLDE experiments: from a new magic number to the rarest element'
Two teams working on experiments at CERN’s ISOLDE facility have published results that extend knowledge in different areas of nuclear and atomic physics.
Read article 'ALICE through a gamma-ray looking glass'
The ALICE experiment is optimized to perform in the environment of heavy-ion collisions at the LHC, which can produce thousands of particles. Its design combines an excellent vertex resolution with a ...
Read article 'The return of quarkonia'
The physics of heavy quark–antiquark bound states is a long-standing puzzle, made more intriguing by results from the LHC.
Read article 'Are some atomic nuclei pear shaped?'
Most atomic nuclei that exist naturally are not spherical but have the shape of a rugby ball.
Read article 'First jet measurements with ALICE'
When quarks and gluons (partons) in opposing beams at high-energy hadron colliders meet they can scatter violently to produce correlated showers of particles, or “jets”. In proton–pr...
