FPGA Co-processor for the ALICE High Level Trigger
G. Grastveit, H. Helstrup, V. Lindenstruth +9
The High Level Trigger (HLT) of the ALICE experiment requires massive parallel computing. One of the main tasks of the HLT system is two-dimensional cluster finding on raw data of…
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…
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…
Reconstruction of proton relative stopping power with a granular calorimeter detector model
M. Aehle, J. Alme, G. G. Barnaföldi +49
Proton computed tomography (pCT) aims to facilitate precise dose planning for hadron therapy, a promising and effective method for cancer treatment. Hadron therapy utilizes protons…
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…
Sensor operating point calibration and monitoring of the ALICE Inner Tracking System during LHC Run 3
D. Agguiaro, G. Aglieri Rinella, L. Aglietta +282
The new Inner Tracking System (ITS2) of the ALICE experiment began operation in 2021 with the start of LHC Run 3. Compared to its predecessor, ITS2 offers substantial improvements…
Performance of the electromagnetic and hadronic prototype segments of the ALICE Forward Calorimeter
M. Aehle, J. Alme, C. Arata +74
We present the performance of a full-length prototype of the ALICE Forward Calorimeter (FoCal). The detector is composed of a silicon-tungsten electromagnetic sampling calorimeter…
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…
