Peter Jacobs describes the electromagnetic calorimeter that will study jets.
With the completion of two major installation projects, nearly all the infrastructure for the ALICE experiment is now in place in the cavern at Point 2 on the LHC ring, near St. ...
How to build a muon spectrometer to study hot quark matter.
In early January ALICE's time projection chamber (TPC) moved 300 m from the assembly hall to the experiment cavern, taking four days to complete the journey.
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...
On 16 June the time projection chamber (TPC) for the ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) started to record its first real events, reconstructing the tracks of cosmi...
Collisions of lead ions at the LHC will take heavy-ion physics into a new high-energy regime.
The first 500 crystals for the ALICE experiment's photon spectrometer (PHOS) arrived at CERN in May after a journey via Moscow from the town of Apatity in the Russian arctic region...
While proton-proton collisions will be the principal diet of CERN's LHC machine, heavy-ion collisions will also be on the menu. The ALICE experiment will be ready and waiting.
