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…
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…
Secondary discharge studies in single and multi GEM structures
A. Deisting, C. Garabatos, P. Gasik +12
Secondary discharges, which consist of the breakdown of a gap near a GEM foil upon a primary discharge across that GEM, are studied in this work. Their main characteristics are the…
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/…
From gated to continuous readout - the GEM upgrade of the ALICE TPC
Andreas Mathis
The ALICE Collaboration is planning a major upgrade of its central barrel detectors to be able to cope with the increased LHC luminosity beyond 2020. In order to record at an incre…
