Installing the ALICE detector
The huge iron yoke in the cavern at Point 2 in the LHC tunnel is prepared for the installation of the ALICE experiment. The yoke is being reused from the previous L3 experiment that was located at the same point during the LEP project from 1989 to 2000. A (Image: CERN)

ALICE photon spectrometer crystals
Members of the mechanical assembly team insert the last few crystals into the first module of ALICE's photon spectrometer. These crystals are made from lead-tungstate, a crystal as clear as glass but with nearly four times the density. (Image: CERN)

Layout of the ALICE detector
The ALICE experiment studies the collisions of beams of lead nuclei in an attempt to produce a new state of matter known as 'quark-gluon plasma'. (Image: CERN)

Enhanced production of multi-strange hadrons in high-multiplicity proton-proton collisions in ALICE experiment
As the number of proton collisions (the blue lines) increase, the more of these so-called strange hadrons are seen (as shown by the red squares in the graph). (Image: CERN)

Installation of the Muon Forward Tracker (MFT) and Fast Interaction Trigger (FIT) in the ALICE cavern
Two new detectors, constructed and tested during LS2, were installed inside the ALICE magnet. One is the Muon Forward Tracker (MFT) and the other is the Fast Interaction Trigger (FIT), which will have to deal with a much higher collision rate during the High Luminosity (HL-LHC) data runs.

The ALICE detector's First Level Processor (FLP) system
The ALICE O2 FLP (First Layer Processor) farm consists of 200 computers in charge of the detector readout. They will transfer data from the detector electronics over more than 8000 optical links with a total throughput of 3.5 TByte/s, aggregate the input data, and send them over the network for processing by the EPN (Event Processor Node) cluster.
