Seminar: No
Poster: No
Invited talk: Yes
The ALICE experiment is the only dedicated heavy-ion experiment at the CERN LHC, but its physics program also covers the pp physics. ALICE, since its start, collected the pp data at 3 different center-of-mass energies - 900 GeV, 2.36 Tev, and the highest available 7 TeV. energies. Multiplicities and particle spectra will be presented and compared with the existing data from lower energies, as well as with Monte Calo predictions. Also, a brief introduction to the experiment will be given.
