ALICE "First Day" Physics — •Yvonne Pachmayer for the ALICE Collaboration — Physikalisches Institut, Universitaet Heidelberg

The world's highest energy particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, produced its first collisions in November 2009. ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) [1] is the dedicated heavy-ion experiment at LHC. It is designed to exploit the full potential of the LHC experimental program including both nucleus-nucleus and proton-proton collisions. Besides an overview of the current status of the ALICE experiment we will point out its physics capabilities by discussing some selected examples. In particular, first results obtained in the first weeks of p-p collisions will be presented. These are a glimpse of the wealth of physics to be extracted from the ALICE program over the next several years.
