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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
