ALICE explores shear viscosity in QCD matter
One of the key goals in exploring the properties of QCD matter is to pin down the temperature dependence of the shear-viscosity to entropy-density ratio (η/s). In the limit of...

What are the essential requirements for the formation of a quark–gluon plasma? Do only the most violent, head-on lead–lead (Pb–Pb) interactions at the LHC provide such condit...
When fewer than half the available lead nucleons merge and form a quark–gluon plasma, the spectators generate the strongest electromagnetic fields yet probed by scientists.
Silicon pixel detectors for particle tracking have blossomed into a vast array of beautiful creations that have driven numerous discoveries, with no signs of the advances slowing d...
The ALICE collaboration has used ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions to test the limits of hadronisation.

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.
