We review the methods which have been proposed for measuring masses of new particles at the Large Hadron Collider paying particular attention to the kinematical techniques suitable for extracting mass information when invisible particles are expected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The ALICE experiment, currently in the commissioning phase, will study nucleus-nucleus and proton-proton collisions at the CERN large hadron collider (LHC). We review the ALICE heavy-flavour physics program and present a selection of results on the expected performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Anisotropic flow is recognized as one of the main observables providing information on the early dynamics in heavy-ion collisions. The large elliptic flow observed at the RHIC is considered to be evidence for almost perfect liquid behavior of the strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma produced in the collisions. In this report, we review our current understanding of this new state of matter and investigate the predictions for anisotropic flow at the LHC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
