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.
After 10 years of physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), particle landscape has greatly evolved. Today, a staged Future Circular (FCC), consisting luminosity-frontier highest-energy electron–positron collider (FCC-ee) followed by an energy-frontier hadron (FCC-hh), promises most far-reaching program for post-LHC era. FCC-ee will be precision instrument used to study Z, W, Higgs, and top particles, offer unprecedented sensitivity signs new physics. Most infrastructure could reused...

The Future Circular Collider (FCC) Study is aimed at assessing the physics potential and technical feasibility of a new collider with centre-of-mass energies, in hadron-hadron collision mode, seven times larger than nominal LHC energies. Operating such machine heavy ions an option that being considered accelerator design studies. It would provide, for example, Pb-Pb p-Pb collisions sqrt{s_NN} = 39 63 TeV, respectively, per nucleon-nucleon collision, integrated luminosities above 30 nb^-1...

For noise, explore optimal filtering techniques that minimize its impact on resolution, evaluate how closely these...
