Performance of the ALICE Experiment at the CERN LHC
read the original abstract
ALICE is the heavy-ion experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The experiment continuously took data during the first physics campaign of the machine from fall 2009 until early 2013, using proton and lead-ion beams. In this paper we describe the running environment and the data handling procedures, and discuss the performance of the ALICE detectors and analysis methods for various physics observables.

Dijet invariant mass of charged-particle jets in pp and p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 5.02$ TeV
The first measurement of charged-particle dijet invariant mass spectra shows no significant nuclear modification in p-Pb collisions at low masses.

Precision mass measurements of multistrange baryons and their antiparticles
ALICE reports mass measurements of Ω−, Ξ− and antiparticles at ~60 ppm precision via invariant-mass reconstruction in pp collisions, calibrated on K0S and Λ, reducing lattice QCD scale uncertainty.
