TL;DR: The Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE) as discussed by the authors is a general-purpose, heavy-ion detector at the CERN LHC which focuses on QCD, the strong-interaction sector of the Standard Model.

TL;DR: In this article, the mean pion multiplicity per wounded nucleon increases approximately linearly with a change of slope starting in the region 15--40 A GeV, and the change from pion suppression with respect to $p+p$ interactions, as observed at low collision energies, to pion enhancement at high energies occurs at about 40A GeV.

TL;DR: The ALICE Time-Projection Chamber (TPC) as discussed by the authors is the main device for pattern recognition, tracking, and identification of charged particles in the ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC.

TL;DR: The fragment distributions resulting from Au+Au collisions at an incident energy of {ital E}/{ital A}=600 MeV and the mass and the excitation energy of the decaying prefragments were determined.

TL;DR: The NA49 detector as mentioned in this paper is a wide acceptance spectrometer for the study of hadron production in p+p, p+A, and A+A collisions at the CERN SPS.
