Description

One of the main goals of the ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) collaboration is the precise study of the properties of the so-called quark–gluon plasma (QGP), the state of deconfined nuclear matter produced in heavy-ions collisions at relativistic energies. The ALICE experiment design was optimized to study this kind of collision with detectors able to identify hadrons, leptons and photons with pristine particle identification and high precision track reconstruction in a large phase space taking care of thousands of particles produced simultaneously. Additionally, measurements of several observables in proton-proton and proton-lead collisions provide important references for the QGP studies and extend the scope of the experiment to several topics beyond the deconfined nuclear matter. In this talk, I will present an overview of the most recent results of the ALICE experiment and the perspectives regarding the LHC Run 3.
