The ALICE experiment will undergo a major upgrade during the next LHC Long Shutdown scheduled in 2019–20 that will enable a detailed study of the properties of the QGP, exploiting the increased Pb-Pb luminosity ...

Among the probes used to investigate the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma, the measurement of the energy loss of high-energy partons can be used to put constraints on energy-loss models and to ultimately access medium ...

Direct photon production in heavy-ion collisions provides a valuable set of observables to study the hot QCD medium. The direct photons are produced at different stages of the collision and escape the medium unaffected. ...

Azimuthally differential femtoscopic measurements, being sensitive to spatio-temporal characteristics of the source as well as to the collective velocity fields at freeze-out, provide very important information on the ...

At sufficiently high temperature and energy density, nuclear matter undergoes a transition to a phase in which quarks and gluons are not confined: the quark–gluon plasma (QGP)1. Such an exotic state of strongly interacting ...

ALICE measured the nuclear modification factor ($R_{AA}$) and elliptic flow ($\nu_{2}$) of D mesons ($D^{0}$, $D^{+}$, $D^{⁎+}$ and $D^{s+}$) in semi-central Pb–Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} =5.02$ TeV. The increased ...

ALICE at the LHC provides unique capabilities to study charmonium production at low transverse momenta ( p T ). At central rapidity, ( |y|<0.8 ), ALICE can reconstruct J/ ψ via their decay into two electrons down to zero ...

The ALICE collaboration has measured the inclusive charmonium production at forward rapidity in Pb–Pb and p–Pb collisions at sNN=5.02TeV and sNN=8.16TeV , respectively. In Pb–Pb collisions, the J/ ψ and ψ (2S) nuclear ...

First experimental results are presented on event-by-event net-proton fluctuation measurements in Pb- Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV, recorded by the ALICE detector at the CERN LHC. The ALICE detector is well ...

Two- and multi-particle azimuthal correlations have proven to be an excellent tool to probe the properties of the strongly interacting matter created in heavy-ion collisions. Recently, the results obtained for multi-particle ...
