ALICE designed as a general purpose heavy-ion detector for the CERN Large Hadron Collider successfully recorded pp, p–Pb and Pb–Pb collisions at different centre of mass energies. The data analysis shows intriguing properties of the matter produced in Pb–Pb collisions. The results indicate that the created system is larger, hotter and denser compared to the one created in heavy-ion collisions at lower energies and it still behaves like a perfect, strongly interacting liquid.
