Description

The ALICE experiment at the LHC is dedicated to the study of the quark-gluon plasma formed in high-energy nuclear collisions. The ALICE electromagnetic calorimeter system, which includes the EMCAL/DCAL lead-scintillator sampling calorimeters and the PHOS high-granularity lead-tungstate crystal calorimeter, provides measurements and triggering on hard probes of the quark-gluon plasma such as high-momentum electrons, photons and jets. In this talk, I will present a summary of the performance of the EMCAL, DCAL and PHOS subsystems during the LHC Run-2, and plans for future upgrades.
