Recent Results From ALICE

The main goal of the ALICE Collaboration is the study of the properties of a deconfined state of matter, the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), created in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. ALICE has collected not only Pb-Pb interactions but also p-Pb and pp collisions that provide a reference to Pb-Pb data. In addition, p-Pb collisions give the possibility to discriminate between initial (cold nuclear matter) and final (QGP) effects and to study the properties of QCD at low parton fractional momentum x and high gluon density. pp data are then important to tune MC generators based on QCD inspired models and complement other LHC experiments results. In the following, a review of a selection of the most recent ALICE results in Pb-Pb and p-Pb collisions will be reported.
