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...
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...
Résumé L’omelette norvégienne d’ALICE Il n’y a pas uniquement des hadrons ordinaires dans les débris des ” boules de feu ” produit...
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.
When it starts up the ALICE experiment will observe collisions of heavy ions in CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC), where "fireballs" of extremely hot and dense matter will be flee...
The silicon pixel detector in ALICE has an important role to play in demanding conditions at the LHC
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...
