TL;DR: The Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE) as discussed by the authors is a general-purpose, heavy-ion detector at the CERN LHC which focuses on QCD, the strong-interaction sector of the Standard Model.

TL;DR: In this paper, the production of mesons containing strange quarks (KS, φ) and both singly and doubly strange baryons (,, and − + +) are measured at mid-rapidity in pp collisions at √ s = 0.9 TeV with the ALICE experiment at the LHC.

TL;DR: In this paper, the alignment of the inner tracking system of the ALICE Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE ITS) with the Millepede global approach has been studied and the results obtained for the ITS alignment using about 10(5) charged tracks from cosmic rays that have been collected during summer 2008.

TL;DR: In the ALICE experiment, the collision region was centred very well in both the longitudinal and transverse directions and 284 events were recorded in coincidence with the two passing proton bunches as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: A large acceptance Electromagnetic Calorimeter (EMCal) was installed in the ALICE central detector to enhance the capabilities for jet quenching measurements as mentioned in this paper, which has played a key role at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and will be central to the study of nuclear collisions.
