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 article, the authors measured charged-particle pseudo-rapidity density at the LHC with the ALICE detector at centre-of-mass energies 0.9 TeV and 2.36 TeV in the pseudorapidity range.

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 this article, the authors used the specific energy loss in the inner tracking silicon detector and the time projection chamber to identify hadrons at higher momenta, and the distinctive kink topology of the weak decay of charged kaons was used for an alternative measurement of the kaon transverse momentum (pt) spectra.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an ultra-light, high-resolution Inner Tracking System (ITS) based on monolithic CMOS pixel detectors for detection of heavy-flavour hadrons, and of thermal photons and low-mass di- electrons emitted by the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) at the CERN LHC (Large Hadron Collider).
