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 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. ...

Elliptic (v2) and higher harmonic (v3, v4) flow coefficients of π±, K±, p(p), and the φ-meson, measured in Pb-Pb collisions at the highest-ever center-of-mass energy of √sNN = 5.02 TeV, are presented. The results were ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

Strangeness production is a key tool to understand the properties of the medium formed in heavy-ion collisions: an enhanced production of strange particles was early proposed as one of the signatures of the Quark-Gluon ...

First experimental results are presented on event-by-event net-proton fluctuation measurements in Pb- Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV, recorded by the ALICE detector at the CERN LHC. The ALICE detector is well suited for ...
