First Results from the ALICE experiment at the LHC

Jurgen Schukraft, for the ALICE Collaboration

Published 2011-03-17Version 1

After close to 20 years of preparation, the dedicated heavy ion experiment ALICE took first data with proton collisions at the LHC starting in November 2009 and first Pb-Pb data in November 2010. This article summarizes initial operation and performance of ALICE as well as first results from both pp and Pb-Pb collisions.
