Organisational Structure
IPPOG is an International Collaboration bound by a Memorandum of Understanding. It is governed by a Collaboration Board comprising representatives of the Members (countries, international particle physics laboratories and experiments) and Associate Members (national laboratories). IPPOG’s chairs report, once per year, to the CERN Council. Coordination Team: One or two IPPOG Chair(s) is/are elected by…

ALICE Collaboration
JOINED: 2016 CURRENT STATUS: MEMBER LOCAL RESOURCES WEBSITE:ALICE resources website ALICE is a heavy-ion experiment, designed to study the collisions of nuclei at the ultra-relativistic energies provided by the LHC. The aim is to study the physics of strongly interacting matter at the highest energy densities reached so far in the laboratory. In such conditions,…
