Physics of the ALICE Experiment
arXiv:hep-ex/0605035
Abstract
A short description of the ALICE detector at CERN is given. The experiment is aiming to study the properties of the quark-gluon plasma by means of a whole set of probes that can be subdivided into three classes: soft, heavy-flavour and high-Pt probes. Each of the classes is illustrated by a few typical examples.
