The ALICE Forward Multiplicity Detector

Abstract

The ALICE Forward Multiplicity Detector (FMD) is a silicon strip detector with 51,200 strips arranged in 5 rings, covering the range $-3.4<\eta <5.1$. It is placed around the beam pipe at small angles to extend the charged particle acceptance of ALICE into the forward regions, not covered by the central barrel detectors.

Quark Matter 2006 poster proceeding, will be published in Int. J. Mod. Phys. E
