Summary :
Physics analyses using jets, photons, and hadrons measurements in the LHC Run-2 (2015-2018) for Pb-Pb, p-p, p-Pb collisions, will be carried out by the French-Japanese collaboration in the ALICE experiment. A newly installed detector from Run-2 for di-jet measurement, DCal, will be commissioned and operated by the French-Japanese team. Physics analysis will be using DCal as well as the existing calorimeters; EMCal and PHOS. It is expected to gain a deeper understanding of the fundamental properties of the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) through unique gamma and jet tomography measurements. In preparation of RUN3, France and Japan will joint efforts to develop and build a new detector, the MFT, that is part of the ALICE upgrade program with the objective to greatly enhance the ALICE measurement of quarkonia in the charm and beauty sector, providing a unique probe at LHC of the QGP.
