Description
In this document we summarise the plans of the ALICE Collaboration for a novel detector designed to fully exploit the potential offered by the LHC for the study of the properties of strongly-interacting matter with high-energy nuclear collisions in LHC Runs 5 and 6. The detector (ALICE 3) is based on advanced silicon sensors and features superb pointing resolution, excellent tracking and particle identification over a large acceptance and high- readout-rate capabilities. We recall the physics goals, summarise the proposed detector layout and outline the plans for the next decade.
