Heavy Ion Physics with the Alice Experiment at Lhc
Besides its proton-proton (pp) physics program, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, which is going to start operating in early 2008, will deliver lead-lead (PbPb) collisions at a centre-of-mass energy √ sNN = 5.5 TeV, opening the door to unexplored regimes in heavy-ion particle physics from several points of view, such as the centre-of-mass energy, the energy density reached, the lifetime and th...
متن کاملHeavy ion Physics with ALICE
ALICE will study the physics of the strongly interacting matter produced in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the LHC where the formation of the Quark Gluon Plasma is expected. The experimental setup, the capabilities of the detector, and a few selected heavy-ion topics will be presented and discussed. Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) predicts a transition from a stable state of matter formed by hadron...
متن کاملHeavy-ion physics with the ALICE experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider.
After close to 20 years of preparation, the dedicated heavy-ion experiment A Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE) took first data at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) accelerator with proton collisions at the end of 2009 and with lead nuclei at the end of 2010. After a short introduction into the physics of ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions, this article recalls the main design choice...
متن کاملStrangeness and heavy flavours within the ALICE experiment
The ALICE experiment at CERN is now ready to take data in protonproton and ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions at LHC. This review starts with a description of the ALICE experimental setup and its excellent tracking and particle identification capabilities. Then, we will discuss the ways to probe the hot and dense medium created at multi-TeV energies by measuring the yields and kinematic ch...
متن کاملHadronic Resonances in Heavy-Ion Collisions at ALICE
Modifications to the masses and widths of hadronic resonances in heavy-ion collisions could be a sign of chiral symmetry restoration. Uncorrected spectra, masses, and widths of the φ(1020) and K∗(892)0 resonances have been measured in Pb–Pb collisions at √ sNN = 2.76 TeV using the ALICE detector. These measurements are presented and compared to resonances in other collision systems.
