What is ALICE? The ALICE Experiment detects quark-gluon plasma, a state of matter thought to have formed just after the big bang. ALICE is designed to study the physics of strongly interacting matter at extreme energy densities. #BigBang Watch more videos: http://cern.ch/go/b6mQ Video credit: RADIO TELEVISION SUISSE (RTS) - ARTE Future and CERN | CERN

The massive doors of the ALICE experiment magnet have been just reopened to allow scientists and technicians to work on the detector upgrade. The doors are 16 metres tall and weight 350 tonnes each. This delicate operation was performed in various phases over one week in December 2018. 🔴 Want to know more about ALICE experiment at CERN? Join us Thursday 21st next week for a Facebook Live from the ALICE's cavern. | CERN

Three’s the lucky charm (quark) ☘️ The ALICE Experiment, dedicated to heavy-ion physics, is designed to study strongly interacting matter at extreme energy densities, also known as quark-gluon plasma. Watch ALICE experiment physicists Krystian and Meike share more about how the experiment got ready for the data-taking season during the end-of-the-year technical stop.
