The ALICE experiment at the LHC First Physics Results
Abstract
ALICE is one of the experiments at the LHC. The excellent performance of the detector has been demonstrated with the measurement and analysis of the first proton-proton collisions provided by the LHC on November 2009. We review the first physics results and the general status of the project. We also review the activities of the Mexican group participating in ALICE project.
