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 and the charm of heavy-ion collisions'
The ALICE collaboration has measured the production of the charmed mesons D0 and D+ in lead–lead collisions at the LHC. In central (head-on) collisions they find a large supp...
Read article 'The Inner Tracking System arrives at the heart of ALICE'
On 15 March 100 physicists and engineers gathered in the ALICE underground cavern to witness the end of a 15 year journey of development, construction, commissioning...
Read article 'Indian chips on track for ALICE'
As an observer state of CERN, India is collaborating in many aspects of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) project – building components of the accelerator as well as constructi...
Read article 'A heavy load arrives for ALICE'
On 25 September the two large coils for the ALICE dipole magnet arrived at Point 2 of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) after a 1200 km journey from their manufacturer. The two coils...
Read article 'ALICE sheds new light on high-pT suppression'
These results demonstrate that with the correct treatment of biases from the parton–parton interactions the observed suppression in Pb–Pb collisions is consistent with results ...
Read article 'New measurements shine a light on the proton'
The ALICE collaboration has measured the photoproduction of J/ψ mesons.
Read article 'ALICE probes partons inside lead nuclei'
The large centre-of-mass energy and luminosity of the LHC have made possible the first measurements of electroweak-boson production in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions.
Read article 'ALICE closes in on parton energy loss'
In Pb-Pb collisions, the spectra are modified by the energy loss that the partons suffer when propagating in the quark-gluon plasma.
Read article 'ALICE investigates charm-quark hadronisation'
These two results suggest that charmed baryon formation might not be universal, and that the baryon/meson ratio depends on the collision system.
