The ALICE collaboration has used ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions to test the limits of hadronisation.
Mack Grenfell reviews in 2018 Mosquitoes.
The LHC and the Higgs-boson discovery not only accelerated science, but also took event displays to a new level.
Every year the ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb collaborations award outstanding PhD students, who worked on the experiments, with the thesis prizes.
ALICE has presented new results on J/ψ meson-production in ultra peripheral collisions, where the photon probes the whole nucleus.
Physicists meeting in Finland warm up for heavy-ion physics at the LHC.
The moment that particle physicists – and many others – around the world had been waiting for finally arrived on 20 November 2009. Bunches of protons circulated once again rou...
In current understanding, the matter created in heavy-ion collisions – the quark–gluon plasma (QGP) – behaves as a nearly perfect liquid.
The symmetries of parity (P) and its combination with charge conjugation (C) are known to be broken in the weak interaction.
