A Large Ion Collider Experiment is one of the largest experiments in the world devoted to research in the physics of matter at an infinitely small scale.
CERN, Geneva, Switzerland

ALICE welcomes Prof. Zeblon Vilakazi, Vice Chancellor @WitsUniversity. He was accompanied by Edith Zinhle Buthelezi, Alexander Kalweit, and Anthony Timmins, along with other scientists. He played a pioneering role in laying the foundation for South Africa’s participation in ALICE

Last week, ALICE Spokesperson Marco Van Leeuwen visited India: meeting with the DAE, DST, IIT Bombay, NISER, Bose Institute, VECC, JU, & Panjab Univ. The visit comes as the India-ALICE prepares for the FoCal detector upgrade and the next-gen heavy-ion experiment - ALICE 3. #LHC

The question of which co-founder is the “technical” one and which is the “business” one is always funny to me

How do charm quarks lose their energy? The ALICE experiment has taken a new step in understanding jets by looking at energy-energy correlators (EECs) inside charm-tagged jets. https://t.co/ZYlYED4Gm1

The first high-energy collisions of OO and Ne-Ne nuclei at the LHC confirm the unusual “bowling-pin” shape of neon nuclei and that even small collision systems show hydrodynamic flow, much like collisions of heavier Xe and Pb, despite the much smaller system size.

At a special #LHC seminar (16 Sep 2025), ALICE, ATLAS, CMS & LHCb shared first results from Oxygen & Neon collisions. Early evidence points to quark–gluon plasma (QGP) in small systems - with signatures of collective flow & quark-gluon energy loss.

In July 2025, ALICE smashed oxygen at the LHC to ask: can tiny systems form a QGP? First results from Nicolas Strangmann show clear jet quenching - suppression like heavier ions- a big step in probing tiny QGP droplets! https://t.co/RqOJDPikb3

"Evidence of nuclear geometry-driven anisotropic flow in OO and Ne−Ne collisions at 5.36 TeV" Even in these tiny collisions, the data matches hydrodynamic models. We still see fluid-like behaviour with very low viscosity, like in Pb-Pb collisions. https://t.co/W2KmpY33K1

I'm loving early reviews for THE CHRISTMAS FIB: "Exactly the heartwarming story I've been craving and exceeded my expectations. The story beautifully captures the excitement and warmth of Christmas. Reading this book has made me realize I'm missing out on many experiences during

ALICE and ATLAS go with the "radial" flow 📷📷📷! This new quantity (v0(pT)) highlights fluctuations in shapes of the transverse momentum (pT) - a new tool to study collective expansion of the QGP. https://t.co/kVzDZ6mciu
