The third edition of the Diffraction and Low x conference is underway at the beautiful Hotel Tonnara in Trabia, Sicily. This prestigious event has a long history of bringing together experts in the field of high-energy physics to discuss key topics such as low-x dynamics and diffractive processes. The first edition of Low x was from the 1993 at DESY (now almost thirty editions!) followed by twelve editions of the Diffraction meeting, the joint Diffraction and Low x conference has grown into a major platform for sharing groundbreaking research that shapes our understanding of particle interactions, deep inelastic scattering, and more. This year, ALICE will have five contributions at the conference, covering a range of topics critical to our exploration of the strong force and QCD phenomena. Our researchers are excited to present their findings, engage in discussions, and continue the collaborative spirit that has defined this conference for four decades. Stay tuned for updates on ALICE’s contributions to the event! #physics
À propos
ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) at the CERN Large Hadron Collider is one of the largest experiments in the world, devoted to studying the physics of strongly interacting matter at the highest energy densities reached so far in the laboratory. In such conditions, an extreme phase of matter called the quark-gluon plasma is formed. Our universe is thought to have been in such a primordial state for the first few millionths of a second after the Big Bang before quarks and gluons were bound together to form protons and neutrons.

The ultra-high energy lead beams at the #LHC act as photon sources, with the photons from the incoming nuclei interacting strongly with the other nucleus. This gives rise to a quantum interference at the femtometre scale which has been measured by the ALICE Collaboration at CERN akin to that of the famous double-slit experiment (a femtometre is a quadrillionth of a metre)!

ALICE collaboration at CERN pays homage to the two towering giants in physics: T. D. Lee won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957, alongside Chen-Ning Yang, for their work on parity violation in weak interactions. He is one of the founding fathers of our field. J.D. Bjorken is renowned for the Bjorken scaling phenomenon, pivotal in developing the quark model and QCD. He along with Sheldon Glashow also predicted the existence of a fourth flavor of quark, which they called charm. He worked out the concepts of heavy-ion collisions, i.e. hydrodynamical flow and energy loss in one of the top cited papers in our field.

We are all very happy to have had the participation of everyone during our LIVE event on Instagram yesterday! The video of the LIVE can be found on ig at: https://lnkd.in/dtwhAgET In the video we describe the operational side of ALICE, from the Control Room, with the help of the Run Coordination. We also show how we start and stop the data taking, really informative!
