The ALICE experiment at the LHC is continuing its harvet of results from RUN1, while preparing for the second LHC RUN which will start next spring. In parallel, we are preparing for the long-term future, with a major upgrade to be installed during LS2 and which will allow a rich physics program in RUN3 and RUN4 of the LHC. The main items will be reviewed.

As an introduction to sessions to follow, this contribution will make a tour of a
number of selected highlights of results from the CMS experiment, from the first run of the LHC: the so called Run-I. A few outstanding Standard Model measurement results will be discussed, as well as a summary of searches for new physics. Emphasis will be given
on the present understanding of the newly found...

The production of hadrons, mainly of strange particles, has been studied intensively over the last decades as they are very powerful probes to study the dynamics of the high-density state created in heavy-ion collisions. With the new results from the LHC the energy range has been further extended and allows for a study of the various observables in a large energy range. Emphasis is put in...

The existing status of supersymmetry (SUSY) will be surveyed, with emphasis on the
LHC data. The main line of discussion will be: (a) a quick recapitulation of the
desirability of SUSY, (b) The viabiliy of testable supersymmetric scenarios in view
of current data, and (c) certain possibilities that are less emphasized in most discussions.

The use of Tsallis distributions in the analysis of High Energy Physics data has increased in recent years. These distributions are related on a Thermodynamics description of the hot hadronic-system produced at ultra-relativistic collisions, proposed by Hagedorn several years ago.
In this talk a brief review on the Thermodynamics description of HEP data and on the role that Tsallis...

In ultra-relativistic collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)
light (anti-)(hyper-)nuclei are produced with significant yields,
especially in collisions between lead nuclei. In addition, these
collisions give the possibility to search for light exotic bound
states of baryons. Light nuclei are identified using the excellent
particle identification capabilities of the Time Projection...

Charm and beauty quarks are important probes to study the characteristics and the evolution of the strongly interacting, deconfined matter produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. ALICE at the LHC is well equipped to reconstruct heavy-flavor hadrons and many measurements were performed since the LHC startup in proton-proton, proton-lead and lead-lead collisions. Hadronic and semileptonic...

We study the non-equilibrium dynamics of heavy-ion
collisions from SIS to LHC energies within the Parton-Hadron-String
Dynamics (PHSD) transport approach, which incorporates explicit
partonic degrees of freedom in terms of strongly interacting
quasiparticles (quarks and gluons) in line with an equation of state
from lattice QCD as well as the dynamical hadronization and...

The LHCb collaboration studied the production of J/ψ and Upsilon mesons in proton-lead collisions at a proton nucleon centre-of-mass energy √sNN = 5 TeV. The measurements have been used to determine the nuclear modification factor and to compare the results with theoretical predictions. A measurement of Z boson production in proton-lead collisions is presented as well. The analyses are based...

This talk will give an update of our understanding of the physics of the "Little Bang" -- the explosive evolution of the hot and dense QCD matter created in heavy-ion collisions. Its collective flow, color opacity and brilliance in the electromagnetic spectrum will be discussed. Special emphasis will be given to new insights arising from the recent proton-lead run at the LHC and the Beam...

Despite the absence of experimental evidence, weak scale supersymmetry remains one of the best motivated and studied Standard Model extensions. This talk summarises recent ATLAS results for searches for supersymmetric (SUSY) particles. Weak and strong production in both R-Parity conserving and R-Parity violating SUSY scenarios are considered. The searches involved final states including jets,...

Direct-photons produced in the hot fireball of a heavy-ion collision leave the medium unscathed. They are therefore believed to provide information about the very early stage of the collisions. In particular, the direct photon pT spectrum at low pT (1 < pT < 4 GeV/c) might contain information about the initial temperature of the quark-gluon plasma. A further diagnostic tool is the azimuthal...

The LHC has run p-Pb collisions at √s_{NN} = 5.02 TeV in addition to √s_{NN} = 2.76 TeV Pb-Pb and the pp physics program. The p-Pb program was conceived originally to investigate initial-state effects in the collisions of nuclei. The p-Pb results appear to exhibit a lack of strong initial-state effects, but are surprising in that they reveal a strong similarity to the final-state hydrodynamic...

I'll present the current status of CMS, with some highlights from the very successful first run of the CERN LHC, which culminated in the discovery of the Higgs boson. I'll talk about detector upgrade and commissioning work being done in preparation for Run 2 and also cover plans for long-term upgrade of the CMS detector for future high-luminosity runs.

This talk will give a brief 'high level' overview for non-experts of Ultra-relativistic Heavy Ion Physic, the study of strongly interacting matter under extreme conditions. First experiments started in the mid '80s with light ions and at low energy fixed target accelerators; with the advent of the ion colliders RHIC and LHC the available energy in the center of mass system has increased by...
