🎉 Celebrating 30 Years of ALICE at GSI! 🎂🔬
📅 On 3 November 2026, our ALICE group at GSI Darmstadt celebrated 30 years of contributions to ALICE! 🥳✨ The event brought together former and current collaborators for a memorable reunion 🤝, celebrating three decades of scientific discoveries ⚛️, technological innovations 🚀, and friendships. 💙
🎤 The lively presentations and discussions were enriched with fascinating anecdotes, personal memories, and stories from the early days of ALICE, bringing its history to life! 📖✨
🔬 The celebration included a special GSI-FAIR colloquium featuring talks by Anton Andronic, Tetyana Galatyuk, and Andrea Dainese, highlighting ALICE’s remarkable journey in characterizing deconfined quark-gluon matter 🌌 and the exciting scientific opportunities ahead with the future programmes at FAIR and with ALICE 3. 🔭🚀
🥂 A wonderful celebration of three decades of scientific collaboration, friendship, and shared achievements! 🎊💙

Down the rabbit hole and into ALICE at CERN! 🐇⚛️🥽
At Researchers’ Night in Kraków, visitors of all ages stepped inside the ALICE particle detector at CERN through VR and explored what tiny particles can tell us about the early Universe!

🇨🇳🔬 Bringing ALICE physics closer to students in Wuhan!
The ALICE Physics Week 2026 was not just about scientific discussions, but also about sharing our passion for physics with the next generation!
✨ An open lecture welcoming more than 300 students, an outdoor interactive outreach stall with physics competitions attracting another 300 students, and a very special milestone: the first ALICE Masterclass in China! 🎉
A wonderful opportunity to spark curiosity, inspire young minds, and share the excitement of particle physics beyond the laboratory!
A huge thank you to everyone who made these activities possible! ❤️

Can you guess the experiment? 🤔
Hint: this experiment sits 56 metres below ground.
Here we see the journey from the #LHC tunnel all the way to the @alice_experiment detector, in its vast cavern, 56 metres below ground.
ALICE is CERN’s dedicated heavy-ion physics experiment, and just like the rest of the accelerator complex #AtCERN, it is currently undergoing major upgrade work.
These upgrades are in preparation for the #HiLumiLHC, which will dramatically improve the performance of the accelerator and bring an increased number of collisions.

🇨🇳 **ALICE Physics Week returns to Wuhan!**
From 12 to 16 October, the ALICE Collaboration gathered at Central China Normal University (CCNU) in Wuhan, China, for a wonderful week of physics, discussions, and shared ideas!
Returning to Wuhan **13 years after the last ALICE Physics Week in 2013**, the event brought together colleagues from around the world to celebrate science and look ahead to the future of ALICE.
The week also featured outreach activities and an ALICE Masterclass, sharing the excitement of particle physics with the local community.
A big thank you to our hosts at CCNU and to everyone who made this week so special! ❤️

🇩🇪 German State Secretary Dr. Marcus Pleyer visits ALICE
We were pleased to welcome Dr. Marcus Pleyer, State Secretary, Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space, Federal Republic of Germany and his delegation to ALICE at CERN on 1 October.
The delegation was welcomed by ALICE Collaboration Spokesperson Kai Schweda, together with German members of the ALICE Collaboration.
The visit offered a wonderful opportunity to experience ALICE up close, learn about its exciting scientific programme, and highlight the important contributions of the German community to ALICE and to fundamental research at CERN. The delegation also had the opportunity to view the LHC tunnel at Point 2, getting a close-up glimpse of the accelerator.

Whirlpools in the perfect fluid 🌪️
Vortices can form in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) due to pressure gradients. Their presence can be studied using Λ and anti-Λ hyperons as probes. ALICE did this by measuring their polarisation, revealed through the direction of the proton or antiproton emitted in their decay. This carries information about the local rotation of this extraordinary state of matter.

🇧🇷 ⚛️ A major milestone on the road to ALICE 3! 🚀
On 23 September 2026, the first ALICE 3 collaboration agreement was signed at CERN by Professor Antônio José Roque da Silva, Director-General of the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM), and Dr. Gautier Hamel de Monchenault, CERN Director for Research and Computing.
“It is very exciting to see ALICE 3 now moving from design and planning into construction. Seeing the first major detector components taking shape makes the project feel much more tangible, and I am very much looking forward to the next steps,” says Kai Schweda (Spokesperson, ALICE Experiment at CERN).
The agreement covers the design, construction, and testing of a superconducting solenoid prototype for ALICE 3. Its main deliverable will be a fully fabricated and cold-tested superconducting prototype coil, with the programme extending from late 2026 to 2028/2029.
This agreement with @CNPEM marks an important step towards making the next-generation ALICE 3 experiment a reality.

ALICE Upgrade Week 2026 and Outreach in Sardinia
The 7th ALICE Upgrade Week 2026 brought together 165 participants from 21 countries near Cagliari, Italy, to exchange ideas and advance the upgrade programme, with a focus on the LS3 upgrades - FoCal and ITS3 - and the new ALICE 3 detector proposed for Run 5.
Alongside the scientific discussions, ALICE connected with the local community through the public event “QUANDO LA MATERIA ERA UN PLASMA” (“When Matter Was a Plasma”) - a journey with ALICE through the primordial Universe, emerging technologies and their benefits for society (featuring Luciano Musa).
A heartfelt thank you to the organisers at INFN Cagliary - the beautiful seaside setting created an inspiring atmosphere for science, collaboration and engagement.
