ALICE Physics Results
ALICE recorded the very first proton collisions at the LHC in November 2009, followed by the first lead-on-lead collisions in November 2010. The sets of LHC Runs are:
- LHC Run 1 (2009-2013): ALICE recorded proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 0.9, 2.76, 7, and 8 TeV, proton-lead collisions at 5 TeV, and lead-lead collisions at 2.76 TeV.
- LHC Run 2 (2015-2018): The centre-of-mass energy was increased to 13 TeV for proton-proton, 8 TeV for proton-lead, and 5.02 TeV for lead-lead. ALICE also recorded comparison data in proton-proton and proton-lead at 5.02 TeV. In addition, a short data-taking campaign with xenon-xenon collisions was carried out.
- LHC Run3 (2022 ….).
ALICE has published a plethora of physics results pertaining to the studies of quark-gluon plasma. Below is a glimpse of some of the Physics Results:
