ALICE explores the quark–gluon plasma with light-ion collisions

In July 2025, the ALICE experiment took part in the LHC’s first-ever light-ion campaign, colliding oxygen–oxygen (O–O) and neon–neon (Ne–Ne) nuclei at a centre-of-mass energy of 5.36 TeV per nucleon pair. The short but intense runs offered a…
