Heavy flavour in ALICE
Andrea Dainese (INFN, Legnaro) (for the ALICE Collaboration)
TL;DR
This paper reviews ALICE's heavy-flavour physics program at the LHC, focusing on studying heavy quarks in nucleus-nucleus and proton-proton collisions to understand QCD matter under extreme conditions.
Contribution
It provides an overview of the planned heavy-flavour measurements and scientific goals of the ALICE experiment at the LHC.
Findings
Preparation for heavy-flavour measurements underway
Expected to shed light on quark-gluon plasma properties
Framework for analyzing heavy-flavour signals established
Abstract
The ALICE experiment, currently in the commissioning phase, will study nucleus-nucleus and proton-proton collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We review the ALICE heavy-flavour physics program.
