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: 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.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the current state of understanding of the physics performance of the large acceptance Electromagnetic Calorimeter (EMCal) in the ALICE central detector.

TL;DR: The ALICE electromagnetic sampling calorimeter has been used in test beam measurements at FNAL and CERN as discussed by the authors, achieving an energy resolution of about 11 % / E (GeV ) ⊕ 1.7 % with a uniformity of the response to electrons of 1% and a good linearity in the energy range from 10 to 100

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the potential of performing educational cosmic ray experiments with Geiger counters and discuss the educational value of coincidence techniques, showing that two or more geiger counters can be operated in coincidence.
