Tag: ALICE
ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is a detector on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. It is specialized to detect quark-gluon plasma, a state of matter thought to have formed just after the big bang.

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
