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…
Novel method for in-situ drift velocity measurement in large volume TPCs: the Geometry Reference Chamber of the NA61/SHINE experiment at CERN
Andras Laszlo, Adam Gera, Gergo Hamar +4
This paper presents a novel method for low maintenance, low ambiguity in-situ drift velocity monitoring in large volume Time Projection Chambers (TPCs). The method was developed an…
ALICE upgrades during the LHC Long Shutdown 2
ALICE Collaboration
A Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE) has been conceived and constructed as a heavy-ion experiment at the LHC. During LHC Runs 1 and 2, it has produced a wide range of physics re…
Characterisation of plastic scintillator paddles and lightweight MWPCs for the MID subsystem of ALICE 3
Ruben Alfaro, Mauricio Alvarado Hernández, Gyula Bencédi +29
The ALICE collaboration is proposing a completely new detector, ALICE 3, for operation during the LHC Runs 5 and 6. One of the ALICE~3 subsystems is the Muon IDentifier detector (M…
