Overview of ALICE results in pp, pA and AA collisions

Abstract

The ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is optimized for recording events in the very large particle multiplicity environment of heavy-ion collisions at LHC energies. The ALICE collaboration has taken data in Pb-Pb collisions in Run I and Run II at nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energies $\sqrt{s_{\text{NN}}}$ = 2.76 and \mbox{5.02 TeV}, respectively, and in pp collisions at center-of-mass energies $\sqrt{s}$ = 0.9, 2.76, 5.02, 7, 8 and 13 TeV. The asymmetric system p-Pb was measured at a center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s_{\text{NN}}}$ = 5.02 TeV. Selected physics results from the analysis of these data are presented, and an outline of the ALICE prospects for Run III is given.
