ALICE is the heavy-ion experiment at CERN Large Hadron Collider. The continuously took data during first physics campaign of machine from fall 2009 until early 2013, using proton and lead-ion beams. In this paper we describe running environment handling procedures, discuss performance detectors analysis methods for various observables.

The CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to collide proton beams of unprecedented energy, in order extend the frontiers high-energy particle physics. During first very successful running period 2010--2013, LHC was routinely storing protons at 3.5--4 TeV with a total beam energy up 146 MJ, and even higher stored energies are foreseen future. This puts extraordinary demands on control losses. An un-controlled loss tiny fraction could cause superconducting magnet undergo transition into...
The correct functioning of a collimation system is crucial to safely operate highly energetic particle accelerators, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). requirements handle high intensity beams can be demanding. In this respect, investigating consequences LHC hitting tertiary collimators (TCTs) in experimental regions fundamental issue for machine protection. An test was designed investigate robustness and effects beam accidents on fully assembled collimator, based accident scenarios...
The ALICE experiment has measured the D meson production in pp and Pb–Pb collisions at LHC 2.76 TeV respectively, via exclusive reconstruction of hadronic decay channels. analyses D0 → K−π+ D+ K−π+π+ channels will be described preliminary results for nuclear modification factor presented.
The formation of hadrons is a fundamental process in nature that can be investigated at particle colliders. Given their large mass, heavy quarks (charm and beauty) are produced only initial hard-scatterings, prior to hadronisation, which determines instead the relative abundances kinematics various heavy-flavour hadron species. As several recent findings demonstrate, with \ee collisions as "vacuum-like" reference one extreme, central AA dense, extended-size system characterised by flow local...
The correct functioning of a collimation system is crucial to safely and successfully operate high-energy particle accelerators, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). However, requirements handle high-intensity beams can be demanding, accident scenarios must well studied in order assess if collimator design robust against possible error scenarios. One catastrophic, though not very probable, identified within LHC an asynchronous beam dump. In this case, one (or more) 15 precharged kicker...
We discuss the isotopic abundances found in E-Cat reactor with regard to nuclear mechanisms responsible for excess heat. argue that a major source of energy is reaction between first excited-state Li-7 and proton, followed by breakdown Be-8 into two alphas high kinetic energy, but without gamma radiation. The unusual property isotope allows this similar underlies Mossbauer effect: presence unusually low-lying excited states stable, odd-Z and/or odd-N nuclei. use lattice version...

This paper is a write-up of the ideas that were presented, developed and discussed at fourth International Workshop on QCD Challenges from pp to AA, which took place in February 2023 Padua, Italy. The goal workshop was focus some open questions field high-energy heavy-ion physics stimulate formulation concrete suggestions for making progresses both experimental theoretical sides. gives brief introduction each topic then summarizes primary results.

Precise measurements of heavy-flavour hadrons down to very low p T represent the core physics program upgraded ALICE experiment in Run 3 [1].
