ALICE’s central physics goal is to understand strongly interacting matter under extreme conditions by studying the quark–gluon plasma created in heavy-ion collisions at CERN’s LHC, recreating conditions characteristic of the early Universe; proton–proton and proton–nucleus measurements provide essential comparisons for separating hot-medium effects from other collision physics (ALICE’s central physics goal is to understand strongly interacting matter under extreme conditions by studying the quark–gluon plasma created in heavy-ion collisions at CERN’s LHC, recreating conditions characteristic of the early Universe; proton–proton and proton–nucleus measurements provide essential comparisons for separating hot-medium effects from other collision physics (arXiv:1402.4476v4, 01-intro/body.tex, lines 4–27). Its programme uses heavy-flavour particles, jet energy loss and thermal radiation to probe this matter, while studying light-nucleus production and hadron interactions. ALICE also investigates collective behaviour and enhanced strangeness production in small collision systems to understand whether, and under what conditions, QGP-like phenomena emerge (, lines 4–27).

From ALICE papers in your default library, the main findings are:

• Energetic jets are strongly suppressed in central Pb–Pb collisions. Fewer jets survive at a given transverse momentum than expected from scaled proton–proton collisions, supporting substantial energy loss through interactions with the QGP. (Fewer jets survive at a given transverse momentum than expected from scaled proton–proton collisions, supporting substantial energy loss through interactions with the QGP. (1502.01689v2, pbpbjetcontent.tex, lines 488–524.)
• Quenching changes jet structure selectively. Groomed jets—whose soft, wide-angle radiation has been removed—have narrower splitting-angle distributions in Pb–Pb, while their momentum-sharing distributions show no significant modification. This is consistent with preferential suppression of wider structures; it does not establish that every individual jet becomes narrower. (Groomed jets—whose soft, wide-angle radiation has been removed—have narrower splitting-angle distributions in Pb–Pb, while their momentum-sharing distributions show no significant modification. This is consistent with preferential suppression of wider structures; it does not establish that every individual jet becomes narrower. (2107.12984v2, main.tex, lines 420–476.)
• The medium’s response matters. Low-momentum recoil jets show enhanced yields away from the back-to-back direction, particularly for larger jet radii. Model comparisons favour a QGP wake or jet splitting over large-angle scattering as the explanation, but no model examined reproduces all observations. (Low-momentum recoil jets show enhanced yields away from the back-to-back direction, particularly for larger jet radii. Model comparisons favour a QGP wake or jet splitting over large-angle scattering as the explanation, but no model examined reproduces all observations. (2308.16131v3, Sections/SummaryAndOutlook.tex, lines 1–6.)
• Evidence now extends to oxygen–oxygen collisions. A June 2026 ALICE preprint reports neutral-pion suppression in OO, with proton–oxygen measurements constraining cold nuclear effects, supporting parton energy loss in this smaller system. This evidence comes from hadron production rather than reconstructed jets. (A June 2026 ALICE preprint reports neutral-pion suppression in OO, with proton–oxygen measurements constraining cold nuclear effects, supporting parton energy loss in this smaller system. This evidence comes from hadron production rather than reconstructed jets. (2606.19967v2, main.tex, lines 19–66.)
• High-multiplicity pp remains inconclusive. Apparent recoil-jet broadening can arise from event-selection biases reproduced by simulations without quenching, so that observation alone is not evidence for a QGP. (Apparent recoil-jet broadening can arise from event-selection biases reproduced by simulations without quenching, so that observation alone is not evidence for a QGP. (2309.03788v2, Content/Results.tex, lines 46–68.)

ALICE’s most important bulk-physics finding is that the QGP remains a strongly collective, nearly perfect liquid at LHC energies. Its measurements have turned that picture into detailed constraints on the fluid’s expansion and transport properties. This extends the discoveries at RHIC. (Its measurements have turned that picture into detailed constraints on the fluid’s expansion and transport properties. This extends the discoveries at RHIC. (ALICE’s overview.)

From papers inspected in your SciPaperlib default library, I would highlight:

1. Very low viscosity and strong collective flow. Elliptic, triangular, and higher flow harmonics show that the medium efficiently converts initial spatial asymmetries into collective particle motion. Their agreement with viscous hydrodynamics supports a small shear-viscosity-to-entropy ratio, (\eta/s). Its precise value and temperature dependence are inferred through model comparisons, rather than measured directly. (. Its precise value and temperature dependence are inferred through model comparisons, rather than measured directly. (1602.01119v2, alicepreprint_CDS.tex, lines 24–62.)

2. Fluctuations provide a detailed probe of the fluid. ALICE found that elliptic and triangular flow fluctuate in opposite directions, while elliptic and quadrangular flow are positively correlated. These measurements discriminate between initial-state models and viscosity parametrizations that otherwise describe average flow similarly well. (ALICE found that elliptic and triangular flow fluctuate in opposite directions, while elliptic and quadrangular flow are positively correlated. These measurements discriminate between initial-state models and viscosity parametrizations that otherwise describe average flow similarly well. (1604.07663v2, correlated_flow_fluctuations_CDS.tex, lines 187–189.)

3. Strong radial expansion. The mass-dependent shapes of pion, kaon, and proton spectra support a common outward expansion: heavier particles receive a larger momentum boost. The expansion strengthens toward central collisions, with evidence for a further increase between the two studied LHC energies. (The mass-dependent shapes of pion, kaon, and proton spectra support a common outward expansion: heavier particles receive a larger momentum boost. The expansion strengthens toward central collisions, with evidence for a further increase between the two studied LHC energies. (1910.07678v2, paperPbPb5TeV.tex, lines 992–1025.)

4. Hadron abundances broadly follow thermal chemistry. Particle yields are largely consistent with statistical hadronization near the QCD crossover temperature. Deviations for particular species show that this description is not exact and that subsequent hadronic interactions matter. This constrains the conditions when hadron abundances become fixed, rather than the initial QGP temperature. (Particle yields are largely consistent with statistical hadronization near the QCD crossover temperature. Deviations for particular species show that this description is not exact and that subsequent hadronic interactions matter. This constrains the conditions when hadron abundances become fixed, rather than the initial QGP temperature. (1910.07678v2, paperPbPb5TeV.tex, lines 63–85.)

5. Thermal radiation supports a hot, evolving medium. ALICE observed an excess of low-momentum direct photons above prompt-production expectations, compatible with thermal emission. Extracting an initial temperature requires modelling emission throughout the evolution and the blue-shift from radial flow; the photon-spectrum slope alone is insufficient. (ALICE observed an excess of low-momentum direct photons above prompt-production expectations, compatible with thermal emission. Extracting an initial temperature requires modelling emission throughout the evolution and the blue-shift from radial flow; the photon-spectrum slope alone is insufficient. (1509.07324v2, directPbPb.tex, lines 305–321.)

6. A larger, longer-lived expanding system than at RHIC. Two-pion interferometry found larger particle-emitting regions and a longer inferred decoupling time. These characterize the system through its final hadronic freeze-out, so the decoupling time should not be identified with the QGP lifetime alone. (Two-pion interferometry found larger particle-emitting regions and a longer inferred decoupling time. These characterize the system through its final hadronic freeze-out, so the decoupling time should not be identified with the QGP lifetime alone. (1012.4035v4, femto.tex, lines 542–563.)
