ALICE estimates transparency of the Milky Way to antimatter
![](/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/documents/article/image/2022-12-12/Blending.png?itok=7po9PVrb)
The anti-3He inelastic interaction cross-section was measured by ALICE for the first time. The finding will help space- and balloon-based searches for antimatter that may have originated from dark matter: Link to Nature Physics.... Read more.
First lead-ion collisions in the LHC at record energy

![Review paper](/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/documents/article/image/2022-11-09/2022-Nov-Reviewpaper_0.png?itok=Xc7D0Ni8)
The ALICE collaboration takes stock of its first decade of quantum chromodynamics studies at the Large Hadron Collider. Read more ...
ALICE explores the hidden charm of quark–gluon plasma
![](/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/documents/article/image/2022-10-27/psi2S_illustration_0.png?itok=q_W3pASp)
The ALICE collaboration shows that different bound states of a charm quark and its antimatter counterpart are differently modified by quark–gluon plasma, opening new avenues for studying this special state of matter and its effects. Read more ...
Charm splitting function in jets
![](/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/documents/article/image/2022-10-27/2022-Oct-charm-splitting-1.png?itok=7c3gJ9z_)
The ALICE Collaboration has recently obtained the first direct experimental constraint on the charm-quark splitting function via the measurement of the splitting properties of charm jets, tagged by the presence of a fully reconstructed D0 meson in proton–proton collisions at 13 TeV. Read more ...
ALICE pins down hypermatter properties
