Heavy-Ion Physics with ALICE

Abstract

The ALICE detector, expected to start operating at the Large Hadron Collider this year, was designed specifically for the study of heavy-ion collisions. In this paper we recall the main features of the apparatus and give some examples of the expected physics performance.
