Ultra-peripheral Pb-Pb collisions, in which the two nuclei pass close to each other, but at an impact parameter greater than the sum of their radii, provide information about the initial state of nuclei. In particular, ...

Highlights of recent results from the ALICE collaboration are presented. The collision systems investigated are Pb–Pb, p–Pb, and pp, and results from studies of bulk particle production, azimuthal correlations, open 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 ...

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 ...

Particle identification is an important feature of the ALICE detector at the LHC. In particular, for particle identification via the time-of-flight technique, the precise determination of the event collision time represents ...

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. ...

The characterisation of the jet substructure can give insight into the microscopic nature of the modification inducedon high-momentum partons by the Quark-Gluon Plasma that is formed in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. ...

The W and Z boson production was measured via the muonic decay channel in proton-lead collisions at sNN−−−√=5.02 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider with the ALICE detector. The measurement covers backward (−4.46 < y cms ...

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 ...
