TL;DR
The paper discusses the potential of the ALICE experiment at the LHC to advance heavy-flavour physics by utilizing lead nucleus collisions at unprecedented energies to study strongly interacting matter.
Contribution
It highlights how ALICE is preparing to use heavy-flavour particles as probes for high-energy density matter in heavy-ion collisions.
Findings
Heavy-flavour particles are effective probes of high-energy density matter.
ALICE is equipped to analyze heavy-flavour production in lead-lead collisions.
The experiment will explore properties of strongly interacting matter at unprecedented energies.
Abstract
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), where lead nuclei will collide at the unprecedented c.m.s. energy of 5.5 TeV per nucleon-nucleon pair, will offer new and unique opportunities for the study of the properties of strongly interacting matter at high energy density over extended volumes. We will briefly explain why heavy-flavour particles are well-suited tools for such a study and we will describe how the ALICE experiment is preparing to make use of these tools.
