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: An introduction to the STAR detector and a brief overview of the physics goals of the experiment can be found in this article, where the authors also present a detailed overview of their experiments.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the first results on elliptic flow of charged particles at midrapidity in Au+Au collisions at √(sNN) = 130 GeV using the STAR Time Projection Chamber at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider.

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.

TL;DR: The invariant mass spectrum of e{sup +}e{sup -} pairs produced in {sup 12C+{sup 12}C collisions at an incident energy of 2 GeV per nucleon has been measured for the first time as mentioned in this paper.
