Description

This talk highlights recent ALICE measurements of the quark-gluon plasma with hard (high Q^2) probes. I will discuss studies of photons, hadrons, jets and heavy quarks in Pb-Pb collisions, delivered by the Large Hadron Collider, and contrast them to control measurements in pp and p-Pb collisions. These studies explore the microscopic nature of the quark-gluon plasma, constraining its opacity, transport properties, and dynamics at various length scales.
