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 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 article, the authors measured the inclusive charged particle transverse momentum distribution in proton-proton collisions at root s = 900 GeV at the LHC using the ALICE detector.
