HK 26.1: Invited Talk
Tuesday, March 5, 2013, 08:30–09:05, HSZ-02
Highlights from ALICE — •Klaus Reygers — Universität Heidelberg, Physikalisches Institut, Im Neuenheimer Feld 226, 69120 Heidelberg
The ALICE experiment at the LHC explores the high temperature and density limit of QCD with Pb+Pb collisions at √sNN =2.76 TeV. Robust tracking over a large transverse momentum range (0.1 < pT < 100 GeV) and excellent particle identification make ALICE a unique tool for characterizing the created QCD matter. A summary of results on Pb+Pb (and p+p) collisions will be presented, including global event properties, anisotropic flow, thermal radiation, jet quenching, and quarkonia. Results on p+Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV, also shown in this talk, shed light on cold nuclear matter effects. Finally, future plans of the ALICE experiment will be summarized.
