ALICE Commissioning: Getting Ready for Physics
C. Lippmann
ALICE is a general-purpose heavy-ion detector at the CERN LHC. We describe the commissioning activities in the years 2007-2009 and the status of the different subsystems at the tim…
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…
The upgrade of the ALICE TPC with GEMs and continuous readout
J. Adolfsson, M. Ahmed, S. Aiola +232
The upgrade of the ALICE TPC will allow the experiment to cope with the high interaction rates foreseen for the forthcoming Run 3 and Run 4 at the CERN LHC. In this article, we des…
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…
The Time Projection Chamber for the ALICE Experiment
C. Lippmann, the ALICE TPC collaboration
The Time Projection Chamber of the ALICE Experiment has been installed in the experimental setup in the underground area at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva. The Alice T…
Particle identification studies with a full-size 4-GEM prototype for the ALICE TPC upgrade
M. M. Aggarwal, Z. Ahammed, S. Aiola +177
A large Time Projection Chamber is the main device for tracking and charged-particle identification in the ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC. After the second long shutdown in 2019/…
Large-scale real-time signal processing in physics experiments: The ALICE TPC FPGA pipeline
J. Alme, T. Alt, C. Andrei +119
For LHC Run 3, the ALICE Time Projection Chamber was upgraded to operate in continuous readout mode. Interaction rates of up to 50 kHz in Pb-Pb collisions require real-time process…
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…
