Thanks to the unique detector design adopted to fulfil tracking and particle-identification (PID) requirements (e.g. low momentum cut-off and low material budget), the ALICE experiment provides significant information about hadron production both in pp and Pb--Pb collisions. In particular, the spectral shapes and production yields of identified particles play a key role in the study of the...

ALICE is the experiment at the CERN LHC dedicated to the investigation of nucleus--nucleus collisions at the highest energies ever reached in the laboratory. The excellent particle identification capabilities of ALICE allow for the reconstruction of a significant number of rare states or even exotic ones. In this talk we present results from a sample of Pb--Pb collisions at a center of mass...

The expansion of the spatially asymmetric dense and hot medium created in heavy-ion collisions causes, through multiple constituent interactions, correlations between the produced particles. Anisotropic flow, apparent in the azimuthal correlations with respect to the collision symmetry planes is a unique observable associated with the thermodynamic properties and the evolution of the created...

Ultra-relativistic heavy ions generate strong electromagnetic fields which offer
the possibility to study gamma--gamma and gamma-nucleus processes at the
LHC in the so called ultra-peripheral collisions (UPC). The coherent photoproduction
of J/Psi vector mesons in UPC is sensitive to the gluon distribution
of the interacting nuclei. Here we report on ALICE results of J/Psi...
