First results on the longitudinal asymmetry and its effect on the pseudorapidity distributions in Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider are obtained with the ALICE detector. The longitudinal ...

In ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions, the event-by-event variation of the elliptic flow v2 reflects fluctuations in the shape of the initial state of the system. This allows to select events with the same centrality ...

Invariant differential yields of deuterons and antideuterons in pp collisions at √ s = 0.9, 2.76 and 7 TeV and the yields of tritons, 3He nuclei, and their antinuclei at √ s = 7 TeV have been measured with the ALICE ...

The correlations between event-by-event fluctuations of anisotropic flow harmonic amplitudes have been measured in Pb-Pb collisions at √ s NN = 2.76 TeV with the ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The results ...

The Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) was designed and built to enhance the capabilities of the ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). While aimed at providing electron identification and triggering, the TRD ...

The study of identified particle production as a function of transverse momentum (pT) and event multiplicity in protonproton (pp) collisions at different center-of-mass energies (√s) is a key tool for understanding ...

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. ...

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 report measurements of two jet shapes, the ratio of 2-Subjettiness to 1-Subjettiness (τ2/τ1) and the opening angle between the two axes of the 2-Subjettiness jet shape, which is obtained by reclustering the jet with the ...
