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 verte...
Read article 'ALICE looks to the future'
After more than three years of highly successful operation, the ALICE detector is about to undergo a major programme of consolidation and upgrade during the Long Shutdown 1 ...
Read article 'ALICE and ATLAS find intriguing ‘double ridge’ in proton–lead collisions'
In analysing data from last year’s test run with proton–lead collisions in the LHC, the ALICE collaboration, followed almost immediately and independently by the ATLAS ...
Read article 'ALICE takes new directions in charm-suppression studies'
Using data from the second high-statistics lead–lead (PbPb) run of the LHC, which took place in 2011, the ALICE experiment is taking new directions in studying the interactio...
Read article 'ALICE takes a first look at diffraction'
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...
Read article 'ALICE looks to the skies'
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...
Read article 'ALICE tracks charm energy loss in the QGP'
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...
Read article 'ALICE unveils mysteries of the J/ψ'
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...
Read article 'ALICE measures multi-strange baryons'
The ALICE collaboration has measured the production of baryons containing two or three strange quarks in lead–lead collisions at the LHC, at an energy of 2.76 TeV per nucleon pa...
