Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

| Description | The ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC has created the highest temperatures and densities every produced in an experiment and re-created the primordial soup which would have existed up to 10 millionths of a second after the Big Bang. There are far too many key findings to list here but we have discovered this super hot and dense primordial soup behaves like a perfect liquid - the most perfect liquid every produced. |
| Exploitation Route | This is an ongoing experiment, which will continue to upgrade and take data until at least 2030. |

| Description | Findings from the ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC have been widely publicised in the media (TV, radio, newspapers, and web sites) and on a regular basis since 2010. Findings have also been extensively used in outreach activities, inspiring young people to study physics. |

| Results and Impact | Professor Evans is involved in 20 to 25 outreach activities a year, mainly public lectures but also workshops, masterclasses, and summer schools. All activities are physics based and most are related to the ALICE experiment in some way. The purpose of the activites are to inspire and encourage young people to take up physics (or other STEM subjects) at university. |
