ALICE是一种通用的重离子实验，旨在研究大型强子对撞机中强相互作用物质和夸克-胶子等离子体的物理特性。它目前包括来自28个国家约80个机构的900多名物理学家和高级工程师，他们来自核物理和高能物理领域。该实验于1997年2月获得批准。在一九九八年中至二零零一年底期间，天文台发表了多份技术设计报告，列出了不同探测器系统的详细设计，大部分探测器已开始建造。自从1996年ALICE技术提案中公布了探测器和物理性能的最后一次综合信息以来，探测器以及模拟、重建和分析软件都有了重大发展。物理性能报告（PPR）将对各种ALICE子系统的当前状态和性能进行更新和全面的总结，包括在适当情况下对技术设计报告进行更新，以及对尚未在技术设计报告中发表的系统进行描述。
ALICE is a general-purpose heavy-ion experiment designed to study the physics of strongly interacting matter and the quark-gluon plasma in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the LHC. It currently includes more than 900 physicists and senior engineers, from both nuclear and high-energy physics, from about 80 institutions in 28 countries. The experiment was approved in February 1997. The detailed design of the different detector systems has been laid down in a number of Technical Design Reports issued between mid-1998 and the end of 2001 and construction has started for most detectors. Since the last comprehensive information on detector and physics performance was published in the ALICE Technical Proposal in 1996, the detector as well as simulation, reconstruction and analysis software have undergone significant development. The Physics Performance Report (PPR) will give an updated and comprehensive summary of the current status and performance of the various ALICE subsystems, including updates to the Technical Design Reports, where appropriate, as well as a description of systems which have not been published in a Technical Design Report.
