ALICE – dedicated heavy-ion experiment at the LHC TPC ITS TOF TRD HMPID vertexing • particle identification (practically all known techniques) • extremely low-mass tracker ~ 10% of X0 • excellent vertexing capability • efficient low-momentum tracking down to ~ 100 MeV/c
LHC Heavy-Ion running • Two heavy-ion runs at the LHC so far: • in 2010 – commissioning and the first data taking • in 2011 – already above nominal instant luminosity! • p–Pb run just finished at the beginning of this year • Followed by Long Shutdown–1 (LS1)
GLOBAL EVENT PROPERTIES State and dynamical evolution of the bulk matter characterized by soft particles (below a few GeV/c) multiplicity distributions (initial energy density) spectra, yields (hadronization process) flow (collective transport phenomena) correlations (space-time evolution)
