  • Publication and Authorlist status (message from EB Chairs):
     
    • The author list (AL) and acknowledgment files for all ALICE papers that were submitted without author list and that are already accepted by the journal have been generated. EB requests you to check the new files, and make sure you are properly listed and that your ORCID is present and correct. Please send any correction you may have by next Wednesday March 22nd to alice-editorial-board-chair@cern.ch

      The message from EB Chiars along with the list of publication is in the link here (needs ALICE access).
       
  • The Public Note entitled "Upgrade of the Inner Tracking System during LS3: study of physics performance" is now Open for Comments until 2023-03-29. You are all invited to add your comments by visiting the document link.
     
  • Call for the ALICE Thesis Award 2022-2023:  deadline 1 April 2023:
    • Fresh doctors (PhD) are encouraged to submit their thesis for the ALICE Thesis Award.
    • The defense of the thesis (written in English) should be between 1 April 2022 - 31 March 2023.
