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
LHC Run 3: physics at record energy starts tomorrow
The Large Hadron Collider is ready to once again start delivering proton collisions to experiments, this time at an unprecedented energy of 13.6 TeV, marking the start of the accelerator’s third run of data taking for physics
ALICE makes first direct observation of a fundamental effect in particle physics
The observation provides direct experimental access to the mass of an elementary particle known as the charm quark
Mass matters when quarks cross a quark–gluon plasma
A new analysis by the ALICE collaboration confirms the expected role of quark mass in the interactions of quarks with a quark–gluon plasma
Thirty years of Hungarian membership of CERN: the President of the Republic visits the Organization
