ALICE is one of the four main experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. It is a general purpose heavy-ion experiment aimed at studying QCD under extreme conditions of energy density. In particular, it is designed to study a state of matter consisting of deconfined quarks and gluons known as a Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). Such a state of matter is thought to have existed up to about ten microseconds after the Big Bang. ALICE records data from lead-lead, proton-lead, and proton-proton collisions at the LHC and the Birmingham group analyse data from all these collision systems. Research students work closely with their supervisors, but also with other academic and research staff, participating fully in the life of the group. In addition to a number of short visits to CERN, students may spend a year at CERN on Long Term Attachment (LTA) if they wish and usually present their results at an international conference.
