Description
One of the key goals of the ALICE experiment at the LHC is to study the properties of a deconfined state of matter known as the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. In this context, measurements of light flavour particles as well as of particle correlations play a central role in the characterization of the bulk properties of the QGP. In this talk, we report on
such measurements in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76$ and $5.02$ TeV as well as in systems traditionally used as reference, such as pp and p-Pb collisions. The implications of these observations will be discussed with a special emphasis on the comparison of the results obtained in the various colliding systems under study.
