ALICE at 2750 GeV _208 (1 GeV= 1 Billion volts). CERN.
The experiments at CERN have entered a new phase and first results pouring in. Up until this point CERN has been colliding protons in the giant particle accelerator, LHC. In the new round of experiments lead ions, 208 times heavier than protons, are being smashed together with tremendous energy. Already in the first collisions researchers see exciting new phenomena with the ALICE detector, an experiment that Danish researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute and the Discovery Center are centrally involved in.
The total collision energy was 2750 GeV *208 (1 GeV= 1 Billion electron volts), almost 15 times higher than previously possible.
