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 ...

The second and the third order anisotropic flow, V2 and V3, are determined by the corresponding initial spatial anisotropy coefficients, ε2 and ε3, in the initial density distribution. On the contrary, the higher order ...

We present the charged-particle pseudorapidity density in pp, p–Pb, and Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV over a broad pseudorapidity range. The distributions are determined using the same experimental apparatus and ...

The availability at the LHC of the largest collision energy in pp collisions allows a significant advance in the measurement of J/ψ production as function of event multiplicity. The interesting relative increase observed ...

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 ...

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 ...

We report measurement of the semi-inclusive distribution of charged-particle jets recoiling from a high transverse momentum (pT) hadron trigger, for p–Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV, in p–Pb events classified by event ...

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

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 ...
