The ALICE TPC, a large 3-dimensional tracking device with fast readout for ultra-high multiplicity events
J. Alme, Y. Andres, H. Appelshauser +73
The design, construction, and commissioning of the ALICE Time-Projection Chamber (TPC) is described. It is the main device for pattern recognition, tracking, and identification of…
First demonstration of in-beam performance of bent Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors
ALICE ITS project, :, G. Aglieri Rinella +250
A novel approach for designing the next generation of vertex detectors foresees to employ wafer-scale sensors that can be bent to truly cylindrical geometries after thinning them t…
A next-generation LHC heavy-ion experiment
D. Adamová, G. Aglieri Rinella, M. Agnello +395
The present document discusses plans for a compact, next-generation multi-purpose detector at the LHC as a follow-up to the present ALICE experiment. The aim is to build a nearly m…
Confronting fluctuations of conserved charges in central nuclear collisions at the LHC with predictions from Lattice QCD
P. Braun-Munzinger, A. Kalweit, K. Redlich +1
We construct net baryon number and strangeness susceptibilities as well as correlations between electric charge, strangeness and baryon number from experimental data on the particl…
Dynamics of critical fluctuations: Theory -- phenomenology -- heavy-ion collisions
M. Bluhm, M. Nahrgang, A. Kalweit +27
This report summarizes the presentations and discussions during the Rapid Reaction Task Force "Dynamics of critical fluctuations: Theory -- phenomenology -- heavy-ion collisions",…
Study of strange particle production in pp collisions with the ALICE detector
H. Ricaud, A. Kalweit, A. Maire
ALICE is well suited for strange particles production studies since it has very good reconstruction capabilities in the low transverse momentum () region and it also allows…
Inclusive J/psi production in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 2.76 TeV
ALICE Collaboration, B. Abelev, J. Adam +966
The ALICE Collaboration has measured inclusive J/psi production in pp collisions at a center of mass energy sqrt(s)=2.76 TeV at the LHC. The results presented in this Letter refer…
A comprehensive study of rate capability in Multi-Wire Proportional Chambers
A. Andronic, C. Garabatos, D. Gonzalez-Diaz +2
Systematic measurements on the rate capability of thin MWPCs operated in Xenon, Argon and Neon mixtures using CO2 as UV-quencher are presented. A good agreement between data and ex…
