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 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: HADES as discussed by the authors is a versatile magnetic spectrometer aimed at studying dielectron production in pion, proton and heavy-ion-induced collisions, which includes a ring imaging gas Cherenkov detector for electron-hadron discrimination, a tracking system consisting of a set of 6 superconducting coils producing a toroidal field and drift chambers, and a multiplicity and electron trigger array for additional electron hadron discrimination.
