Accelerator Report: Getting lead ions ready for physics
In about a week, lead ions will be sent from the SPS into the LHC to collide in the accelerator’s four big experiments
ALICE honours its PhD thesis award winners
On 12 July 2023, the ALICE collaboration celebrated its PhD thesis award winners in a ceremony organised as part of the ALICE collaboration meeting at CERN.
ALICE sees the ridge in simplest collisions yet
The observation brings physicists a step closer to finding the origin of collective phenomena in small collision systems
ALICE estimates how transparent the Milky Way is to antimatter
The finding will help space- and balloon-based searches for antimatter that may have originated from dark matter
First lead-ion collisions in the LHC at record energy
On Friday, 18 November, a test using collisions of lead ions was carried out in the LHC and provided an opportunity for the experiments to validate the new detectors and new data-processing systems ahead of next year’s lead-lead physics run.
ALICE explores the hidden charm of quark–gluon plasma
The ALICE collaboration shows that different bound states of a charm quark and its antimatter counterpart are differently modified by quark–gluon plasma, opening new avenues for studying this special state of matter and its effects
ALICE pins down hypermatter properties
The collaboration’s latest study of a “strange”, unstable nucleus known as the hypertriton offers new insight into the particle interactions that may take place at the hearts of neutron stars
