ALICE (A Large Hadron Collider Experiment) at the CERN LHC is aimed at studying the hot and dense QCD matter which is formed in high-energy heavy-ion collisions.

A selection of the results obtained by ALICE in proton-lead collisions will be presented and compared to the relevant lead-lead results.

The measurements include the pseudorapidity density, transverse momentum distribution and the nuclear modification factor of unidentified charged particles. Our results will be compared to previous p-p, A-A and d-A experimental results and to the available theoretical model predictions.
