The ALICE experiment was proposed in 1993, to study strongly-interacting matter at extreme
energy densities and temperatures. This proposal entailed a comprehensive investigation of …

ALICE is the heavy-ion experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The experiment
continuously took data during the first physics campaign of the machine from fall 2009 until …

A bstract The production of prompt D 0, D+, and D*+ mesons was measured at midrapidity (|
y|< 0.5) in Pb–Pb collisions at the centre-of-mass energy per nucleon–nucleon pair\(\sqrt {s …

In particle collider experiments, elementary particle interactions with large momentum
transfer produce quarks and gluons (known as partons) whose evolution is governed by the …

Comprehensive results on the production of unidentified charged particles, π±, K±, KS 0,
K*(892) 0, p, p¯, ϕ (1020), Λ, Λ¯, Ξ−, Ξ¯+, Ω−, and Ω¯+ hadrons in proton-proton (pp) …

One of the key challenges for nuclear physics today is to understand from first principles the
effective interaction between hadrons with different quark content. First successes have …

This Letter presents the first experimental evidence of the attractive strong interaction
between a proton and a ϕ meson. The result is obtained from two-particle correlations of …

The production of prompt Λ c+ baryons at midrapidity (| y|< 0.5) was measured in central (0–
10%) and mid-central (30–50%) Pb–Pb collisions at the center-of-mass energy per nucleon …

This paper presents the measurements of\(\pi^{\pm}\),\(\mathrm {K}^{\pm}\),\(\text {p}\)
and\(\overline {\mathrm {p}}\) transverse momentum (\(p_ {\text {T}}\)) spectra as a function of …
