Abstract
ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is one of the seven experiments at the the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland. ALICE is especially designed for heavy-ion collisions but it also operates a rich proton-proton (pp) program. ALICE has collected pp collision data at $\sqrt{s}=$ 0.9, 2.36, 2.76, and 7 TeV and lead-lead (Pb--Pb) collision data at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=$2.76 TeV. Here, we report minimum bias measurements obtained until the end of 2010: the results include measurements of charged-particle pseudorapidity, multiplicity and transverse momentum distributions. Also, the two-pion Bose-Einstein correlation and the measurement of antiproton-to-proton ratio will be discussed. Furthermore, results on the production of identified particles including strange particles will be shown as well as first results from the first Pb--Pb run at the LHC.
