Preparations are under way for a next-generation heavy-ion experiment for Run 5 of the LHC and beyond.
Read article 'Jet ν2 measurements with ALICE'
High-energy scattering of partons (quarks and gluons) produces collimated cones of particles called jets, the production rate of which can be calculated using perturbative QCD tech...
Read article 'First full jet measurement in Pb–Pb collisions with ALICE'
In high-energy collisions at the LHC, quarks and gluons occasionally scatter violently and produce correlated showers of particles, or “jets”. In proton–proton co...

The new results shown by the ALICE collaboration at the Quark Matter 2014 conference in Darmstadt focus principally on the most recent collisions at the LHC – those of proton...
Read article 'A new focus on forward muons for the ALICE upgrade programme'
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...
