Diffractive processes represent more than 25% of the cross-section for inelastic proton–proton collisions at the LHC. So, it is only natural that the ALICE collaboration is i...
Michael Duff explains how string theory and M-theory could have practical applications in quantum information theory.
The LHC dishes up hot dense matter at higher energies than ever before.
ALICE is one of the four big experiments at CERN’s LHC. It is devoted mainly to the study of a new phase of matter, the quark–gluon plasma, which is created in heavy-ion...
The ALICE TOF is made of 1593 MRPCs, each of which is 120 cm long and consists of a double-stack MRPC, with a total of 10 gaps 250 μm wide
To see how much of a heavy ion participates in a collision, ALICE must determine a key parameter – centrality.
The first direct observation of the suppression of charmed mesons at high transverse-momentum in head-on nucleus–nucleus collisions indicates that charm quarks suffer a strong l...
The ALICE experiment, with its state-of-the-art detection systems, produced a wealth of results during Run 1 of the LHC (2009–2013) – driving a new impetus in the field of hea...
Analysis of early results from both nucleus–nucleus and proton–proton collisions at the LHC indicate that a final answer on the fate of the J/ψ inside a hot QGP seems to be w...
