Photon Physics in ALICE
arXiv:0907.2722 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysa.2009.09.039
Abstract
We give an overview of photon physics which will be studied by the ALICE experiment in proton-proton and heavy ion collisions at LHC. We compare properties of ALICE photon detectors and estimate their ability to measure neutral meson and direct photon spectra as well as gamma-hadron and gamma-jet correlations in pp and Pb+Pb collisions.
