# ALICE Highlights

## TL;DR

This paper reviews recent ALICE experiment results on quark-gluon plasma, covering soft and hard probes, collective effects in small systems, and future detector upgrade plans at the LHC.

## Contribution

It provides a comprehensive overview of recent experimental findings and future perspectives from ALICE on high-energy heavy-ion collisions and small system collectivity.

## Key findings

- Evidence of collective effects in high-multiplicity pp and p-Pb collisions
- Measurements of charm hadrons and jets in heavy-ion collisions
- Insights into the properties of deconfined QCD matter

## Abstract

Deconfined strongly interacting QCD matter is produced in the laboratory at the highest energy densities in heavy-ion collisions at the LHC. A selection of recent results from ALICE is presented, spanning observables from the soft sector (bulk particle production and correlations), the hard probes (charmed hadrons and jets) and signatures of possible collective effects in pp and p-Pb collisions with high multiplicity. Finally, the perspectives after the detectors upgrades, taking place in the period 2019-2020, are presented.
