ONGOING AND UPCOMING EVENTS
- ALICE records first lead-ion collisions today: PbPb collisions at the LHC at record energy: 5.36 TeV centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair!! ALICE has recorded the first Pb-ion collisions since the major LS2 upgrade!! Lots of excitement today at the ALICE Run Control Centre!!
Congratulations to the Run coordination and the whole operation team at P2.
- ALICE new public website goes online: alice.cern
- A ten-year journey through the quark–gluon plasma and beyond: ArXiv link
The ALICE experiment takes stock of its first decade of quantum chromodynamics studies at the Large Hadron Collider.
- ALICE collaboration submits updates to the letter of intent for ALICE 3: Letter of intent for ALICE 3: A next-generation heavy-ion experiment at the LHC.

NEWS FROM POINT 2
- Run coordination:
- ZDC fully commissioned
- ALICE vdM campaign concluded successfully with FIT, ITS, CTP and ZDC in global scans
- Custom scan taken with several other detectors: TPC, TRD, MID
- During the other IP scans collected about 7.5 nb-1 of which ~6.5 nb-1 (390 M min bias, 510 M inel) are with ZDC.
- We also have ~0.6 nb-1 (38 M min bias, 50 M inel) at mu <= 0.01, all with ZDC.
- PbPb test on Friday, 18 November

JUNIOR'S CORNER
- We would like to welcome Florian Jonas to the Junior's Committee! We are still looking for one additional Junior's Committee member. If you would like to join Florian and Ida, please reach out to us at alice-junior-reps@cern.ch.
- LHC Early Career Mentoring Programme: Are you an early career scientist who is interested in a career in research? Are you wondering how to take the next steps in your career? Then this programme is for you and we invite you to submit a mentee application. Would you like to help an early career scientist develop their professional skills? Do you have tips/tricks that you wish you had known earlier in your career? Then this program is also for you and we invite you to submit a mentor application.
The last day of applications for mentees 2022/2023 round of the programme is Friday 18 November. However, from this round of the programme onwards, the organisers will keep applications open all year round for mentees who have been affected by the war in Ukraine and for mentors who wish to mentor them.
- Healthy Minds for Masterminds workshop: The second Healthy Minds for Masterminds workshop for our collaboration will be held during the next ALICE week in February. Please help us to plan the content according to your needs by answering this very short survey!
