At Quark Matter 2014 this week in Germany, the ALICE, ATLAS and CMS experiments are presenting the latest results from the LHC's heavy-ion programme

Aaron Richard Angerami of Columbia University in the US presents "Soft and hard probes of high-temperature matter with the ATLAS experiment"

The ALICE experiment will be watching the collisions closely to tease out the effects of lead ions from the effects of the plasma

For the last run before the two-year shutdown, the LHC is going beyond its original design specification and will collide protons with lead ions

Heavy-ion experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will present their latest results at the Quark Matter 2012 conference
