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…
Signal shapes in multiwire proportional chamber-based TPCs
J. Alme T. Alt H. Appelshäuser M. Arslandok R. Averbeck E. Bartsch P. Becht L. Bratrud P. Braun-Munzinger H. Buesching H. Caines P. Christiansen F. Costa U. Frankenfeld J. J. Gaardhøje C. Garabatos P. Glässel T. Gunji H. Hamagaki J. W. Harris E. Hellbär H. Helstrup M. Ivanov J. Jung M. Jung A. Junique A. Kalweit R. Keidel S. Kirsch M. Kleiner M. Kowalski M. Krüger C. Lippmann M.

Silvermyr B. Sitar J. Stachel K. Ullaland R. Veenhof V. Vislavicius J. Wiechula B. Windelband
A large-volume Time Projection Chamber (TPC) is the main tracking and particle identification (PID) detector of the ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC. PID in the TPC is performed vi…
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…
Technical design of the phase I Mu3e experiment
K. Arndt, H. Augustin, P. Baesso +102
The Mu3e experiment aims to find or exclude the lepton flavour violating decay at branching fractions above . A first phase of the experiment using an…
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…
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/…
A Tracker for the Mu3e Experiment based on High-Voltage Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors
Niklaus Berger, Heiko Augustin, Sebastian Bachmann +9
The Mu3e experiment searches for the lepton flavour violating decay mu+ -> e+e-e+, aiming for a branching fraction sensitivity of 10^-16. This requires an excellent momentum resolu…
Research Proposal for an Experiment to Search for the Decay μ -> eee
A. Blondel, A. Bravar, M. Pohl +22
We propose an experiment (Mu3e) to search for the lepton flavour violating decay mu+ -> e+e-e+. We aim for an ultimate sensitivity of one in 10^16 mu-decays, four orders of magnitu…
The ALICE TPC, a large 3-dimensional tracking device with fast readout for ultra-high multiplicity events
J. Alme, Y. Andres, H. Appelshauser +73
The design, construction, and commissioning of the ALICE Time-Projection Chamber (TPC) is described. It is the main device for pattern recognition, tracking, and identification of…
Position Reconstruction in Drift Chambers operated with Xe, CO2 (15%)
C. Adler
We present measurements of position and angular resolution of drift chambers operated with a Xe,CO(15%) mixture. The results are compared to Monte Carlo simulations and importa…
Pulse height measurements and electron attachment in drift chambers operated with Xe,CO2 mixtures
A. Andronic
We present pulse height measurements in drift chambers operated with Xe,CO2 gas mixtures. We investigate the attachment of primary electrons on oxygen and SF6 contaminants in the d…
