ALICE results from the first Pb-Pb run at the CERN LHC

Abstract

After 20 years of preparation, the dedicated heavy ion experiment ALICE took first data at the CERN LHC accelerator with proton collisions at the end of 2009 and with lead beams at the end of 2010. This article will give a brief overview of the main results presented at the Quark Matter 2011 conference.

Inited talk at the 22nd International Conference on Ultra-relativistic Nucleus-Nucleus Collision (Quark Matter 2011), 23 - 28 May 2011, Annecy, France
