Exploring the Quark-Gluon Plasma: The ALICE Experiment at the Large Ion Collider

The A Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE) is designed to study heavy ion collisions, particularly those involving Lead nuclei. These collisions generate immensely high temperatures—over 100,000 times hotter than the sun's core—allowing scientists to investigate the formation of a state of matter known as Quark-Gluon Plasma. This ephemeral state, which existed just microseconds after the Big Bang, provides critical insights into the early universe's conditions.

Presentation Transcript

  1. ALarge Ion Collider Experiment ALarge Ion Collider Experiment is the dedicated experiment to study collisions of heavy nuclei Zuzana Maria Bo Emily Yianis

  2. A Large Ion Collider Experiment ALICE will study collisions of heavy nuclei, like Pb. WHY? The collisions between Lead nuclei create little fireballs with temperatures 100 000hotter than the centre of sun • At this temperature, the protons and neutrons of the Lead nuclei melt into their elementary components, the quarks and gluons creating a state of matter called Quark Gluon Plasma for a very brief instant of time. • Such state of matter must have existed at the extreme temperatures of the early Universe a few microseconds after the Big Bang Zuzana Maria Bo Emily Yianis
