As I was writing a talk for a conference, I ran into a bunch of pictures of ALICE that I thought y’all might like to see. In my last post I gave an overview of ALICE and described each of the subsystems in ALICE. I don’t have a picture of every subsystem, but to give you an idea of what these pieces look like:

This is the ALICE magnet (which used to be the L3 magnet) in 2001, before any of the detectors were installed inside of it.
(Note to ALICE collaborators – if you didn’t see a picture of your favorite subsystem, email it to me. If I get enough cool ALICE pictures for another post, I’ll do a follow up with more gratuitous cool pictures of ALICE.)
