ALICE Experiment

ALICE presents a broad set of new physics results at the SQM 2026, contributing 2 plenary and 25 parallel talks, and 13 posters: LHC Run 3 results from strange and heavy quarks to probe QGP. A selection of results: alice-collaboration.web.cern.ch/SQM2026

ALICE sees new sign of primordial plasma in proton collisions The ALICE Collaboration takes a step further in addressing the question of whether a quark–gluon plasma can be formed in proton–proton and proton–nucleus collisions. Find out more: home.cern/news/news/phys…

Honored to welcome Her Excellency Ms Celina Peña, Undersecretary for Technology and Innovation of the United Mexican States, to ALICE. Kai Schweda, Andrea Dainese, Arturo Fernández Téllez shared how LHC collisions allow us to study the earliest moments of the universe. #cern

We were pleased to welcome His Excellency Mr Fedor Rosocha, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary and Permanent Representative of the Slovak Republic to the United Nations Office and other international organizations in Geneva, to ALICE. ⚛️

We were pleased to welcome Her Excellency Ms Marie Chatardová, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic, to ALICE. Anthony Timmins, Silvia Pisano and Filip Krizek shared our excitement for exploring the earliest moments of the universe at the LHC. ⚛️

Do all jets lose energy in the same way? By studying how particle jets are modified as they traverse the quark-gluon plasma created in heavy-ion collisions, ALICE reveals how QGP affects heavy- and light-flavour jets, as reported in the @CERNCourier: cerncourier.com/a/the-flavour-…

Mar 8: International Women's Day, ALICE recognizes important contributions of women to the activities and achievements of the collaboration. The 130 women featured in the poster represent a fraction of the 450 women, including about 200 female students. #IWD2026 #WomenInScience

Have you ever imagined standing on the roof of the ALICE experiment? Prototypes of ALICE 3 Muon Identifier (MID) - based on plastic scintillators and MWPC technology - are being installed on top of the ALICE magnet and being tested!

On the occasion of #WomenInScience Day (11 February 2026), we are delighted to introduce 🎙️ Batoul Diab, Physics Coordinator of the Muon Forward Tracker (MFT) in the ALICE experiment at CERN, working at the interface between detector performance and physics.

On the occasion of #WomenInScience Day, we are delighted to introduce 🇧🇷✨ Maria Paula, a doctoral student from Brazil, currently part of the CERN Doctoral Student Programme for Non-Member States 🧑‍🎓🌍 and working with the ALICE Collaboration! 🎥 Watch the video to learn more ..

On the occasion of #WomenInScience Day, we are delighted to introduce Silvia Pisano, the Run Coordinator of ALICE. In this role, she is responsible for coordinating pp and heavy-ion data taking in 2026. 📷 Watch the video to learn more ....

During 2023 lead-ion run, ALICE was poised for its most exciting year yet. But when the first beams collided, part of the detector went blank. The cause? A tiny beam contamination sending stray particles into the tracker. Full story @symmetry magazine: shorturl.at/JCZSp

Strangeness at its extremes: Unlike up & down quarks, strange quarks aren’t valence quarks in colliding hadrons - they’re produced via interactions. ALICE shows even tiny pp collisions can yield many strange particles. cerncourier.com/a/strangeness-…

Looking back at 2025: A defining year for us. We extend our sincere thanks to Marco van Leeuwen for his outstanding contributions as ALICE Spokesperson and wish all the best to Kai Schweda and his team, who will take over as of January 1st. youtu.be/bQ1cQA3oKq4

Merry Christmas from ALICE!

The ALICE experiment has uncovered how light nuclei form and survive in high-energy collisions at the CERN LHC - a key insight that may help in the search for dark matter. home.cern/news/news/phys…

17 years on and still shining: ALICE TOF is fully revitalised for LHC Run 3. Time resolution is now <80 ps in continuous readout at 13.6 TeV. Details in our new paper: arxiv.org/abs/2511.10311
