The advantages of this ALICE Centre are manifold. Smooth functioning of the experiment relies on continuous monitoring and control, and the ALICE Centre will provide a means for experts to attend to the detectors remotely... <http://alicematters.web.cern.ch/cifarelli-eps-president> Luisa Cifarelli first female president of European Physical Society <http://alicematters.web.cern.ch/cifarelli-eps-president> ALICE physicist Luisa Cifarelli has become the first female president of the European Physical Society [EPS]. Cifarelli, a professor of experimental physics at the University of Bologna, assumed the leadership of the society on 2 April this year. Cifarelli is also the current president of the Italian Physical Society… <http://alicematters.web.cern.ch/alice-mexican-group> The ALICE Mexican group<http://alicematters.web.cern.ch/alice-mexican-group> The Mexican group in ALICE was responsible for the design, construction and operation of the V0A detector. This detector was crucial in the data analysis of the first events registered by the experiment and continues to play an important role as a trigger, online luminosity monitor, centrality measurement and beam gas rejection device... <http://alicematters.web.cern.ch/focus-on-pierre-zelnicek> Focus On: Pierre Zelnicek <http://alicematters.web.cern.ch/focus-on-pierre-zelnicek> This fortnight, ALICE Matters spoke with Pierre Zelnicek, a computer scientist who hails from Leipzig, who works on the ALICE Collaboration Database… <http://alicematters.web.cern.ch/alice-in-cern-courier> In CERN Courier: ALICE enters new territory in heavy-ion collisions<http://alicematters.web.cern.ch/alice-in-cern-courier> * "The first run with colliding beams of lead ions in the LHC has already provided the ALICE experiment with a taste of hot dense matter at higher energies than ever before..."* Charm mesons suppression in lead-lead collisions<http://alicematters.web.cern.ch/alices-charm-lead-collisions> The ALICE experiment has measured the production of the charmed mesons D0and D + in Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC...
