• Alignment of the ALICE Inner Tracking System with cosmic-ray tracks (2010, methodology): “However, for the outer SSD layer, the supports were dismou nted and remounted after the survey; the precision of the remounting procedure is estimated to be around 20 μm in the rφ direction [1].”
• Enhanced production of multi-strange hadrons in high-multiplicity proton–proton collisions (2016, background): “5, with the ALICE detector [26] at the LHC.”
• Heavy-flavour and quarkonium production in the LHC era: from proton–proton to heavy-ion collisions (2015, methodology): “The ALICE detector [782] measures charmonium either in the central barrel using a combination of silicon trackers (ITS), a time projection chamber (TPC) and a time of flight system (TOF); or in the forward part where a muon spectrometer is installed.”
• Collider searches for long-lived particles beyond the Standard Model (2018, methodology): “Since 2010, the LHC has been collecting data from proton-proton collisions at four primary experiments: ATLAS [4], CMS [5], LHCb [6], and ALICE [7].”
• Performance of the ALICE Time-Of-Flight detector at the LHC (2018, background): “In the ALICE TOF system the Time-Over-Threshold (TOT) is used as a proxy for the signal charge amplitude.”
• Production of light nuclei and anti-nuclei in pp and Pb-Pb collisions at energies available at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (2015, positive): “The ALICE detector has excellent particle identification capabilities.”
• J/ψ suppression at forward rapidity in Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV (2016, methodology): “The primary vertex is reconstructed using hit pairs in the two cylindrical layers of the SPD [26,29], which have average radii of 3.9 and 7.6 cm, and cover the pseudo-rapidity intervals |η| 2 and |η| 1.4, respectively.”
• The ALICE TPC, a large 3-dimensional tracking device with fast readout for ultra-high multiplicity events (2010, methodology): “The ALICE [1, 2] Time-Projection Chamber (TPC) [3] is the main device, in the ALICE ‘central barrel’, for tracking of charged particles and particle identification.”
• Observation of $J/\psi p$ Resonances Consistent with Pentaquark States in $\Lambda_b^0 \to J/\psi K^- p$ Decays (2015, background): “ALICE [40] collects heavy ion collision data in order to study strongly interacting matter at extreme energy densities, for purposes such as understanding color confinement in QCD.”
• Direct photon production in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_\rm{NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV (2015, neutral): “The ITS [34] consists of two layers of Silicon Pixel Detector s (SPD) positioned at a radial distance of 3.”
• Measurement of D-meson production at mid-rapidity in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV (2017, background): “A complete description of the ALICE experimental setup and of its performance can be found in [33,34].”
