Level-1 jet trigger hardware for the ALICE electromagnetic calorimeter at LHC
O. Bourrion, R. Guernane, B. Boyer +2
The ALICE experiment at the LHC is equipped with an electromagnetic calorimeter (EMCal) designed to enhance its capabilities for jet measurement. In addition, the EMCal enables tri…
Beauty production with the ALICE detector
R. Guernane
Heavy flavour pairs produced in hadronic reactions provide a valuable laboratory for the study of strong interactions. Due to their relatively large mass, the production of heavy q…
Prototype electronics for the silicon pad layers of the future Forward Calorimeter (FoCal) of the ALICE experiment at the LHC
O. Bourrion, D. Tourres, R. Guernane +3
A Forward Calorimeter (FoCal) has been proposed as part of the ALICE upgrades for data taking from 2029 onwards. The FoCal will feature a sampling electromagnetic calorimeter segme…
Snowmass 2021/22 Letter of Interest: A Forward Calorimeter at the LHC
I. G. Bearden, R. Bellwied, V. Borshchov +20
A forward electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeter (FoCal) was proposed as an upgrade to the ALICE experiment, to be installed during LS3 for data-taking in 2027--2029 at the LHC.…
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…
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…
