Description

The ALICE experiment has been running successfully since 2010 and made an impressive progress towards understanding of hot and dense QCD matter produced in heavy-ion collisions at LHC energies. Recent results on identified particle spectra, azimuthal anisotropy, particle correlations, heavy flavour and quarkonia production in PbPb collisions at sqrt(sNN) = 2.76 TeV will be presented. Future physics challenges and the ALICE upgrade perspectives will be briefly reviewed at the end.
