Heavy Ion Results from the ALICE Experiment

Abstract:

This talk will focus on the results obtained with the ALICE experiment during the first heavy ion run at √(s_NN) = 2.76 TeV, which took place at the end of 2010. We will present data on the bulk properties of the medium created in such collisions, discuss flow observables, particle production as well as spectra of identified particles out to large transverse momenta. In comparing to reference data obtained in pp collisions we discuss in particular the modification of high p_T particles traversing the hot and dense medium. Furthermore, we will present particle correlations and measurements of quarkonia as well as heavy flavor production.
