The ALICE detector has undergone significant overhauls during Long Shutdown 2 to prepare for the higher luminosities expected during Run 3 and 4 of the LHC, starting this year (CER...
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...
The heavy-ion physics programme at LHC Run 3 will provide deep insights into the rich field of QCD phenomenology.
The electric charge of lead ions, when accelerated to ultra-relativistic velocities, is the source of an intense flux of high-energy quasi-real photons.
At 2.00 a.m. on 13 December 2008, the commissioning team at the ALICE facility of the UK's Daresbury Laboratory and Cockcroft Institute successfully demonstrated "energy recovery...
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...
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...
ALICE is designed to study matter produced in high-energy nuclear collisions at the LHC, in particular using lead ions. The goal is to investigate thoroughly the characteristics of...
Collisions of lead ions at the LHC will take heavy-ion physics into a new high-energy regime.
