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…
Development of Thin-Gap GEM-μRWELL Hybrid Detectors
Kondo Gnanvo, Xinzhan Bai, Brian Kross +8
Micro Pattern Gaseous Detectors (MPGDs) are used for tracking in High Energy Physics and Nuclear Physics because of their large area, excellent spatial resolution capabilities and…
ATHENA Detector Proposal -- A Totally Hermetic Electron Nucleus Apparatus proposed for IP6 at the Electron-Ion Collider
ATHENA Collaboration, J. Adam, L. Adamczyk +433
ATHENA has been designed as a general purpose detector capable of delivering the full scientific scope of the Electron-Ion Collider. Careful technology choices provide fine trackin…
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…
Results from a Prototype Combination TPC Cherenkov Detector with GEM Readout
B. Azmoun, K. Dehmelt, T. K. Hemmick +10
A combination Time Projection Chamber-Cherenkov prototype detector has been developed as part of the Detector R&D Program for a future Electron Ion Collider. The prototype was test…
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/…
Combination of two Gas Electron Multipliers and a Micromegas as gain elements for a time projection chamber
S. Aiola, R. J. Ehlers, S. Gu +6
We measured the properties of a novel combination of two Gas Electron Multipliers with a Micromegas for use as amplification devices in high-rate gaseous time projection chambers.…
A Prototype Combination TPC Cherenkov Detector with GEM Readout for Tracking and Particle Identification and its Potential Use at an Electron Ion Collider
Craig Woody, Babak Azmoun, Richard Majka +3
A prototype detector is being developed which combines the functions of a Time Projection Chamber for charged particle tracking and a Cherenkov detector for particle identification…
Cosmic Ray Test of Mini-drift Thick Gas Electron Multiplier Chamber for Transition Radiation Detector
S. Yang, S. Das, B. Buck +8
A thick gas electron multiplier (THGEM) chamber with an effective readout area of 1010 cm and a 11.3 mm ionization gap has been tested along with two regular gas elec…
First observation of Cherenkov rings with a large area CsI-TGEM-based RICH prototype
V. Peskov, G. Bencze, A. Di Mauro +8
We have built a RICH detector prototype consisting of a liquid C6F14 radiator and six triple Thick Gaseous Electron Multipliers (TGEMs), each of them having an active area of 10x10…
Performance of prototypes for the ALICE electromagnetic calorimeter
The ALICE EMCal group
The performance of prototypes for the ALICE electromagnetic sampling calorimeter has been studied in test beam measurements at FNAL and CERN. A array of final design mod…
The Forward GEM Tracker of STAR at RHIC
F. Simon, J. Balewski, R. Fatemi +11
The STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is in the process of designing and constructing a forward tracking system…
Triple GEM Detectors for the Forward Tracker in STAR
Frank Simon, James Kelsey, Michael Kohl +7
Future measurements of the flavor-separated spin structure of the proton via parity-violating W boson production at RHIC require an upgrade of the forward tracking system of the ST…
