Letter of intent for ALICE 3: A next-generation heavy-ion experiment at the LHCThis document describes the plans of the ALICE Collaboration for a major upgrade of its detector, referred to as ALICE 3, which is proposed for physics data-taking in the LHC Run 5 and beyond. ALICE 3 will enable an extensive programme to fully exploit the LHC for the study of the properties of strongly interacting matter with high-energy nuclear collisions. The proposed detector layout, based on advanced silicon sensors, features superb pointing resolution, excellent tracking and particle identification over a large acceptance and high readout-rate capabilities. This document discusses the proposed physics programme, the detector concept, and its physics performance for a suite of benchmark measurements.

ALICE: Physics Performance Report

This paper is a comprehensive look at the ALICE experiment and the significant contributions it will be able to make to particle physics. A key aspect of research at ALICE is looking at the quark-gluon plasma, an extremely hot state that immediately succeeded the big bang in which quarks and gluons were able to move freely, rather than being confined by the laws of the strong and weak forces. In order to discover more about our origins of the universe, research on the quark-gluon plasma is key.
