The theory of strong interaction, quantum-chromo-dynamics, predicts for high temperature and density a new state of matter in which the confinement of quarks and gluons is lifted. This state, the quark-gluon-plasma, existed in the early universe after the electro-weak phase transition up to about 10 microseconds. The ideal tool to study this is collisions of heavy nuclei at energies as high as possible.
Now with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN an entirely new energy regime is accessible. In this talk a selection of important results from the ALICE experiment will be presented.
