Advanced Measurement of b-Quark Production in Hadrons by the ALICE Detector

This study presents the capabilities of the ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in measuring the production of b-quark containing hadrons. The ALICE collaboration utilizes diverse probes such as resonances, jets, and heavy quarks to enhance our understanding of the strong force and the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). With 18 different sub-detectors and independent magnet systems, ALICE provides crucial insights into the equation of state of QGP and the phase transition to hadron gas, contributing to our fundamental knowledge of particle physics.
