This article presents the basic idea of VHMPID, an upgrade detector for the ALICE experiment at LHC, CERN. The main goal of this detector is to extend the particle identification capabilities of ALICE to give more insight into the evolution of the hot and dense matter created in Pb-Pb collisions. Starting from the physics motivations and working principles the challenges and current status of development is detailed.

The ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN consists of a central barrel, a muon spectrometer and additional detectors for trigger and event classification purposes. The low transverse momentum threshold of the central barrel give s ALICE a unique opportunity to study the low mass sector of central exclusive production at the LHC.

ALICE has been specifically optimized to study heavy-ion collisions at the LHC, up to a charged particle density of 8000 per unit of rapidity in central heavy-ion collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 5.5 TeV. The High Momentum Particle Identification Detec tor (HMPID) has a proximity focusing geometry with a liquid $rm C_{6}F_{14}$ Cherenkov radiator coupled to Multi-Wire Pad Chambers (MWPC) equipped with CsI photocathodes, over a total active area of 11 $rm m^2$. It has been designed to identify charged pions and kaons in the range 1 $leq p leq$ 3 GeV/$c$ and protons in the range 2 $leq p leq$ 5 GeV/$c$. The as-built detector and all relevant subsystems (gas, liquid $rm C_{6}F_{14}$, cooling and control) are described. Installation issues and first commissioning results are also presented.

We present new measurements related to spin alignment of $mathrm{K^{*0}}$ vector mesons at mid-rapidity for Pb-Pb collisions at $sqrt{s_{mathrm{NN}}}$ = 2.76 and 5.02 TeV. The spin alignment measurements are carried out with respect to production pla ne and second order event plane. At low $p_{mathrm{T}}$ the spin density matrix element $rho_{00}$ for $mathrm{K^{*0}}$ is found to have values slightly below 1/3, while it is consistent with 1/3, i.e. no spin alignment, at high $p_{mathrm{T}}$. Similar values of $rho_{00}$ are observed w.r.t. both production plane and event plane. Within statistical and systematic uncertainties, $rho_{00}$ values are also found to be independent of $sqrt{s_{mathrm{NN}}}$. $rho_{00}$ also shows centrality dependence with maximum deviation from 1/3 for mid-central collisions w.r.t. both the kinematic planes. The measurements for $mathrm{K^{*0}}$ in pp collisions at $sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV and for $mathrm{K^{0}_{S}}$ (a spin 0 hadron) in 20-40% central Pb-Pb collisions at $sqrt{s_{mathrm{NN}}}$ = 2.76 TeV are consistent with no spin alignment.
The ALICE experiment at LHC is mainly dedicated to heavy-ion physics. An overview of its performances, some predictions related to its first measurements and QGP observable measurements will be given.

Jet tomography probes provide a means to explore the properties of highly compressed and excited nuclear matter created in heavy ion collisions. The capabilities of the ALICE experiment, with its electromagnetic calorimeter (EMCal) upgrade, to trigge r on and reconstruct jets in p+p and Pb+Pb collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}$=5.5 TeV are presented.
