Description

The collisions of heavy nuclei at ultra-relativistic LHC energies produce an extreme phase of strongly-interacting matter called the quark-qluon plasma (QGP). Since more than 10 years the ALICE Collaboration at CERN has been studying the nature of the QGP by analysing the data from various collision types provided by the LHC: proton-proton, proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus. Here, the results from the first two collision systems both serve as a baseline for the studies of heavy-ion collisions and are interesting in their own right.

In this talk we present some recent ALICE highlights from the harvest of the data collected during the second period of LHC operation (Run 2). Thanks to excellent tracking and particle identification capabilities of the detector, ALICE has significantly contributed not only to our understanding of the properties of strongly-interacting matter under extreme conditions, but also to various fields of physics beyond the studies of the QGP. Finally, a brief outlook on ALICE perspectives in the Run 3 and Run 4 data-taking campaigns will be shown.
