Recent ALICE results from light-ion collision systems
Abstract
This article presents recent measurements by the ALICE Collaboration in proton--oxygen (pO), oxygen--oxygen (OO), and neon--neon (Ne--Ne) collisions delivered by the LHC in July 2025. Measurements of the primary charged-particle pseudorapidity density and the elliptic and triangular flow coefficients of charged particles are reported. Experimental evidence of the suppression of neutral pion yields in OO collisions relative to the proton--proton baseline is also discussed. Comparisons of these new data with theoretical models provide key input to understand particle production, collective phenomena, and parton energy loss in small collision systems.
