W and Z bosons are massive weakly-interacting particles, insensitive to the strong interaction. They provide therefore a medium-blind probe of the initial state of the heavy-ion collisions. The final results for the W and ...

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

The second and the third order anisotropic flow, V2and V3, are mostly determined by the corresponding initial spatial anisotropy coefficients, ε2and ε3, in the initial density distribution. In addition to their dependence on ...

Two-particle correlations in relative azimuthal angle (Δφ) and pseudorapidity (Δη) have been used to study heavy-ion collision dynamics, including medium-induced jet modification. Further investigations also showed the ...

We present the ALICE results on the nuclear modification factor and elliptic flow of electrons and muons from open heavy-flavour hadron decays at mid-rapidity and forward rapidity in Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 and ...

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 ...

Dielectrons produced in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions provide a unique probe of the whole system evolution as they are unperturbed by final-state interactions. The dielectron continuum is extremely rich in physics ...

The transverse momentum ( pT ) spectra and elliptic flow coefficient ( v2 ) of deuterons and anti-deuterons at mid-rapidity ( |y|<0.5 ) are measured with the ALICE detector at the LHC in Pb–Pb collisions at sNN−−−√ ...

ALICE measured the nuclear modification factor (RAA) and elliptic flow (v2) of D mesons (D0, D+, D∗+ and D+ s ) in semi-central Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV. The increased amount of data in semi-central Pb–Pb events ...

In ultra relativistic heavy-ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), conditions are met to produce a hot, denseand strongly interacting medium known as the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP). Quarks and gluons from incoming ...
