Highlights from the ALICE Experiment

ALICE, designed as a general purpose heavy-ion detector for the CERN Large Hadron Collider
has been successfully running for the last three years. Data from pp collisions have been collected
at different centre of mass energies, 0.9, 2.76 and 7 TeV and from Pb-Pb collisions at 2.76 TeV
per nucleon. The data analysis shows intriguing properties of the produced matter in Pb-Pb
collisions. The results indicate that the created system is larger, hotter and denser compared to the
one created in heavy-ion collisions at lower energies and it still behaves like a perfect, strongly
interacting liquid. Most important ALICE results will be presented.
