The ALICE experiment at the LHC
Description
ALICE is one of the four large experiments at the LHC. It focuses on the study of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. Its main goal is to study in great detail the properties of matter under extreme energy densities. We discuss some aspects of the ALICE research program, the experiment future plans as well as some general items of the ALICE upgrade. After a summary of the main results we discuss briefly recent activities on diffractive physics. A proposal to install detectors in the forward region is also presented. These new detectors would allow one to study processes with rapidity gaps larger than those presently covered
